“We want to address some of those issues that are on ground, to prevail on people not to engage in destructions. Because the EndSARS protest was hijacked by hoodlums which led to several restrictions.

“Nobody is saying that initially, the protest was wrong. But the fact that it was hijacked by hoodlums to destroy public and private properties was a matter of great concern.

“What we are trying to do is to get back to the drawing board and close the communication gap between the leaders and the led. So that there will be no EndSARS again.

“So, what we intend to do is to provide opportunities by engaging the youths so that they will be taken off the streets,”
