Olusegun Runsewe, Director General, National Council for Arts and
Culture (NCAC), has commended Mr Mohammed Bello, Federal Capital
Territory (FCT) Minister, for the timely raid and closure of nude clubs
in Abuja.
Runsewe said: “The rise of this ugly and negative recreational clubs negated every strand of Nigerian culture”.
This was contained in a statement issued to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) through Runsewe’s Media Consultant, Mr Frank Meke.
NAN reports that the FCT Joint Task Team which comprises of the
Department of Development Control, Abuja Environmental Protection Board
(AEPB) and the Social Development Secretariat (SDS) had embarked on
closure of nude clubs within Abuja.
Runsewe called on State Governments to boost measures adopted by the administrator of FCT.
“What the FCT minister and his officials have done is not only
commendable but also a proactive measure to track down the influencers
and marketers of this sodomic expressions, thereby protecting our
culture from foreign pollution,” he said.
Runsewe said that the future of Nigeria rests in her young persons
who must be protected and discouraged from accepting and practising
certain cultures.
He said that those cultures were not only against Christianity and
Islam but also against the true living culture of the Nigerian nation.
Runsewe disclosed that NCAC would soon roll out a national cultural
campaign against harmful foreign and strange culture targeted at the
Nigerian youth not excluding illegal drug habits and strange smoking
practices.
He decried the rising negative influence of these satanic tendencies
often passed off as global recreational acceptance and occupation.
“Nigeria’s homegrown culture must not be overshadowed by this message from the messengers of darkness,” he said.
