This was confirmed by the Federal Capital Territory, FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike on Monday during an interactive engagement with stakeholders in the Bwari area council.
During the function, the FCT Minister also called on the residents to shelve the planned nationwide protest scheduled for August 1 and 10.
A similar interactive session was held with residents of Gwagwalada, Kuje, Kwali, Abuja Municipal Area Council, AMAC and Abaji where Wike urged the people, particularly the youths, not to participate in the #EndBadGovernance protest.
Speaking on Tinubu’s commitment towards Nigerian youths, Wike said, “On Saturday, I told the people of AMAC, when they requested the establishment of the youth secretariat, that I knew that when I met Mr President, he would approve it.
“Yesterday, while in Kwali, I repeated what I said. I want to bring you good news. I saw the president last night, and he has approved the establishment of a secretariat for youth affairs.”
