Importance of Documenting Election Campaign Promises
Election is the bedrock of any democracy because it offers the citizens the opportunity to elect those who will lead them. To be able to properly vote for candidate, there are usually the process of promise and acceptance of programs, projects, ideas and plans. These promises which are usually made during campaigns are now referred to as campaign promises. During elections, they are made in their thousands, both realizable and non realizable promises.

Introduction
A good work ethic is what most employers look highly in employees. Work ethics is defined from the perspective of working hard in the willingness to put the organization first. Therefore honesty and working well with other coworkers are considered to be good work ethics as well. In Nigeria, particularly in public or government service, lack of honesty or integrity has been responsible for the high corruption level and the current low level of development. Having a good work ethic can help to advance nations and individuals .
