The CAN president while admonishing the youths, urged them not to despair given the many challenges the country is facing. He also appealed to young people to give the federal government more time to plan.
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that President Muhammadu Buhari advised young Nigerians to be peaceful in making their demands from the government.
Buhari made the comment when he received his former minister of environment, Amina Mohammed, who is the current deputy secretary-general of the United Nations.
Mohammed is leading a delegation of senior UN officials to Nigeria, Niger, Sierra Leone, and Ghana.
She called on the Nigerian government to ensure that they engage the young people in order to foil another protest in the country.
