Commenting on the recent ENDSARS protests which erupted in the state, Fintiri said that engagement and dialogue with the youth was the only solution.

He assured the people that his administration was always willing to dialogue with the youth to help them become good future leaders.

Mr Umar Imrana, who spoke on behalf of the youths, said that the rally was organised to express their concerns over the recent protests.

He described the protests as “unfortunate“ and promised that such “ugly incident’’ would never repeat itself in the state.

“Our eyes are now open and as youths of this state, we want to assure you that we will never again allow ourselves to be used by the enemy of peace and progress.

“We stand with you and resolute to move our dear state forward,” Imrana told the governor.
