President Muhammadu Buhari has
commended the youth in Bauchi for ignoring the #EndSARS protest.
Buhari, who was represented by
Adamu Adamu, minister of education, gave the commendation at a town hall
meeting held in Bauchi, on Monday.
The president had constituted a
delegation to engage with governors, the youth, religious leaders, traditional
rulers and other stakeholders across the country for the purpose of
reconciliation and national development.
According to NAN, Buhari
commended the youth for their “maturity”, and promised that his administration
would continue to work towards ensuring sustainable development.
“I’m very happy with the government and people
of Bauchi state for their exceptional maturity in responding to national
challenges such as the recent #EndSARS protests,” Adamu said, while speaking on
behalf of the president.
“As your representatives in
government, we are very proud of the comportment of the youth in particular,
and the generality of the people in the state, in the face of current hardship.
“We are also aware that the
hardship has been compounded by the economic downtown occasioned by the global
crash in the prices of oil, and the ravaging effects of COVID-19 pandemic.
“Notwithstanding the hardship, you were wise
enough not to adopt a solution which will inflict more hardship than the
initial problem.”
He urged the youth to resist
instigation by subversive elements to cause chaos and socio-economic
disruption, adding that discussions were ongoing with local communities to
understand their grievances in order to find lasting solutions to them.
