The National Orientation Agency of Nigeria is the body tasked with communicating government policy, staying abreast of public opinion, and promoting patriotism, national unity, and development of Nigerian society.
[1] The National Orientation Agency has worked on a variety of issues, including health, cooperation with non-governmental organizations, and prevention of electoral violence.
[2] Dr. Mike Omeri was appointed Director General of the Agency on 16 January 2012.
"[5] Dr. Omeri's 2014 announcement of a policy of "rehabilitaton" and reintegration of Boko Haram militants into Nigerian society met with criticism in neighboring Cameroon, with one opposition MP remarking, “for a country that is yet to organise a state funeral for soldiers killed by the Boko Haram terrorists to start invoking the de-radicalisation and rehabilitation concepts is completely unacceptable”.
[6] 2,167 repentant Boko Haram members have been rehabilitated and have graduated from the National Orientation Agency's Operation Safe Corridor’s (OPSC) which is a programme meant for the deradicalisation, rehabilitation and reintegration (DRR) of terrorists.
