The Lawmaker representing Eti-Osa Constituency 2 in Lagos, Gbolahan Yishawu has urged youths to shun the impending protest.
While speaking at a programme to educate young people on the harmful effects of drug abuse, Yishawu attested to the economical challenges faced by the country, promising the youth that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his team are working diligently to address these issues.
Yishawu admonished them to engage in peaceful dialogue with the government rather than resorting to protests.
He invited officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) to counsel youths about the dangers of drug abuse.
“We all know what drugs do to people and the prevalence of drugs from statistics worldwide.
“We have officials from NDLEA to provide the right advocacy and explain the implications of drug use.
The youth are the strength of the nation, and we must ensure they understand the dangers of drug abuse”, he said.
In his own speech, the Majority Leader of the Lagos State Youth Parliament, Olasupo Jubril expressed his disapproval of the protest.
He encouraged other youths to maintain decorum.
