He further stated that government must be focused and devise strategies to meet the demands of the young protesters.

Based on this, he said, “When the youth are agitated, they should be listened to …Leadership must do retrospection and begin to do things right,” he stressed.
He opined, that government’s approach in this situation should be to calm rising tempers by making good policy interventions.
