The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike has finally appealed to youths in the nation’s capital not to join the planned August #EndBadGovernance protest against hardship and economic woes.
Wike made this call at a town hall meeting with youth stakeholders and traditional rulers in the Bwari Area Council of the FCT on Monday.
In his welcome remarks, the FCT minister appreciated those present at the town hall for embracing dialogue, even as he maintained that President Bola Tinubu continues to do his best to move the nation forward, noting that the essence of the meeting was to talk about their grievances and shelve the planned nationwide protest.
He called on youths in all the area councils to shun the protest and embrace dialogue, assuring them that things will get better soon.
On infrastructure development, Wike announced the President’s approval to create a youth secretariat in the FCT Administration (FCTA) and police stations in each area council in the nation’s capital.
Those in attendance were the Area council chairmen, traditional rulers, religious bodies, representatives of women and youth groups w at the meeting.
