A group under the banner of Nigerian Youth Union (NYU), has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to sack all the Service Chiefs and reform the Nigerian Police Force to regain the trust and respect of Nigerians.
NYU also mandated President Buhari to fish out the soldiers that allegedly fired the shot at the peaceful protesters and ensure that they are brought to justice.

This was contained in a statement made available by its National President, Com. Obasi Chinonso and Secretary-General, Com Deji Oso, in Ado Ekiti.
NYU said: “President Buhari must reform the security sector, sack the security Chiefs, and pass a bill restricting the police or any military personnel from shooting at innocent civilians in Nigeria and set up a committee to investigate the killing and arrest in Lekki and other parts of Nigeria.
“He must prosecute all the indicted military personnel who shot at our unarmed and innocent young citizens in Nigeria and immortalize them while also compensating the families of our slain comrades”.
NYU also called for the disbandment of the expensive bi-cameral legislature and adopt uni-cameral that embraces just two representatives per each state, who should be collecting remuneration not more than that of an Associate Professor in a university.
It advocated full deregulation of the Oil and Gas Sector; ratification of the Petroleum Industry Bill and create job opportunities for children of a common man in the sector.
“The President must Implement full deregulation of the power sector to allow investment capital flow that can enhance job as well as stable power transmission and distribution.
“He should restructure Nigeria by devolving power from the centre and return to regionalism with States to enjoy full autonomy and have its state police. The FG must close the northern borders to stop the free entry of Fulani Herdsmen and Bandits
“He must allow an all-inclusive government for all tribes and regions of Nigeria with 50% of youths in charge of governance, commerce, and ICT, allocate more funds to the Education Sector to provide a better teaching and learning environment”.
NYU, who called for the implementation of the 2014 National Conference Report, advocated for the placing of all political office holders on minimum wage to attract genuine and committed people into the Public Service.
“President Buhari should also speed up the process of reforming the electoral system to migrate to an electronic voting system”.
