Group urges citizens to ownership of Nigeria’s reputation

The Nigeria Reputation Management Group, NRMG, has called on Nigerians to take ownership of the country’s reputation, saying its reputation is shaped by the conduct, integrity, and values of each citizen.

The Chairman of NRMG, Yomi Badejo-Okusanya, in a statement to mark its inaugural Nigeria Reputation Day on October 15, 2025, with the theme “Better Reputation, Better Nigeria,” identified five pillars for building a better reputation.

According to him, “Let us align our M-Factor with integrity and make Nigeria unstoppable. Let us create music that carries messages of dignity, films that uplift and entertain, media that amplifies truth, fashion that expresses pride with purpose, and minds that lead with clarity, conscience, and courage.”

He stated that NRMG is committed to leading, supporting, and collaborating with citizens to restore and protect Nigeria’s national character, noting, “The group envisions a Nigeria where culture and character move in the same direction, earning respect and attracting opportunities.”

“Nigeria Reputation Day will be marked annually on October 15 as a national reminder that integrity and reputation are the foundations of progress. Each year, Nigerians will renew their commitment to honour, trust, and uphold the values that make Nigeria great,” the NRMG chairman maintained.

He observed that while Nigeria faces real challenges, NRMG believes they are not insurmountable, as by acting differently, persistently, and together, Nigerians can build a nation that reflects the greatness within them.

Okusanya noted, “Our national image will not be defined by headlines alone, but by the quiet consistency of millions choosing what is right.”
