The Nigeria Governors Forum on Thursday resolved to adopt, at both the state and regional levels, guidelines to be developed and issued by the National Economic Council’s Sub-Committee on Engagement to reduce restiveness among young people.
The governors said it was clear that the agitations were attributable to social and economic inequality in the country.

- #EndSARS: Forgive errant youths, Eselu begs Oba of Lagos
They stated these in a communiqué issued after their Wednesday’s teleconference meeting.
They resolved to engage with traditional, religious and civil society organisations to drive a common agenda and generate the required support for security personnel.
NGF Chairman and Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi, who provided an update on the #EndSARS protests, said the security situation in the country remained a priority agenda for the members.
The governors lauded the Coalition Against COVID-19 (CACOVID) for presenting the true situation of what transpired in the light of what it called “the unfortunate misperception that attended the distribution of palliatives at the state level”.
