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.

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.
