Timipre Sylva, minister of state for petroleum resources,
says President Muhammadu Buhari is committed to addressing issues raised by
#EndSARS protesters.
NAN reports that the minister spoke while reacting to
concerns by Davido, award-winning singer, when he hosted him on Wednesday.
In a statement by Julius Bokoru, his spokesman, Sylva said
the president “is on a fair and right trajectory in addressing concerns raised
by the #EndSARS protesters.”
It is understood that the minister and the ‘OBO’ crooner discussed several issues during the meeting including art, politics, youth empowerment, and harmonisation of the various age grades in the country.
They also examined the possibilities of building platforms
for youth development and talent discovery.
Sylva reiterated the federal government’s commitment to
youth empowerment. He, however, enjoined the youth to stop blaming the leaders
for their problems and find ways of initiating solutions to make the country
better.
“Your generation is a smart one but it must proffer
solutions too. If we all blame ourselves then we are farther and farther from
any real solution. We must all harmonise, brainstorm and come up with creative
ideas to improve life in our country,” he said.
On his part, Davido commended the minister for his signature
gas initiative, especially the National Gas Expansion Programme (NGEP) and the
Autogas schemes designed to lessen dependence on petrol.
The musician observed that petrol was costlier, heavier, and
less eco-friendly compared to gas.
