Abstract: Individuals ought to be guided by the principle of accountability when establishing their civil duties. It is vital and deeply rooted in the formation of a feeling of national identity. The recent episode, however, has questioned the ability of the civil service to uphold accountability. Consequently, fostering a feeling of national identity requires nothing more than doing the right thing. The methodology employed in this research blends a quantitative design with a survey-oriented approach. The fundamental random sample method had a total of 120 respondents. The analysis's findings illustrate the criticality of honesty in any effort to assist individuals in need. Accountability must be highly esteemed for every group to participate in the formation of a national identity that safeguards the interests of the people. To build a strong and cohesive national identity, accountability must be upheld at all levels of society. A technique akin to the national identity formation process could be employed to advocate for the notion of accountability. Accountability is a crucial source of national identity development to promote trust, transparency, equality and responsibility within a society, creating a strong foundation for a cohesive and proud national identity. To ensure national security and, more pragmatically, foster peace and harmony, the establishment of accountable values and the cultivation of a sense of national identity must take precedence.
