Besides other agencies of socialization, the home, school and government play a vital role in shaping the behaviour of individuals. Precisely the study examined the roles of these three agencies in reorientating the value system of adolescents in Borno. 110 adolescents took part in the study. The questionnaire was based on the natural ethics and duties of Nigerian citizens as stipulated in the constitution of the country. The findings of the study revealed the strength and weaknesses of the agencies in reorientating the adolescents value system. Based on the findings, suggestions and practical counselling strategies were given to improve the value system of the adolescents.
