According to the management, The Good Citizen Reading Club and the Good Citizen Annual Awards and Recognition are other expressions of the Good Citizen initiative.

‘’The Good Citizen Radio Show will focus on value system reorientation and would be driven through citizen participation and solid multi-institutions partnerships in the areas of transparency and accountability, entrepreneurship/innovation, political awareness, environmental management, and unity. The radio show is targeted at children, adolescents and youths,’’ the management stated.
