They collectively said the youths are the assets of this nation and therefore must be part and parcel of anything capable of entrenching the nation. Citing that the recent ENDSARS protest across nation wouldn't have being staged if things were going on well.They thereafter, encouraged all and sundry to feel free as well as air their views which will help give birth to a new Plateau.
Dr.Chris Kwaja of Modibbo Adamawa University of Technology,Yola who spoke on the role of good governance in promoting peace said only with peace can a nation have the needed development and advancement.He reiterated that Nigeria is an interesting paradox,very wealthy with poor people.Said if the youths can collectively come together devoid of ethnicity, religion,region and other ills,they can turnaround the fortunes of Plateau.

Speaking on understanding the rudiments of peace and social prosperity, Dr.Kingsley Madueke of the University of Jos said the templates of peace building anchored in Plateau State in Nigeria is a total extraction from the western nations therefore advised that for a headway to be to be achieved, traditional and local methods must be inculcated with youths, women and traditional rulers as champions. 'Joking relationship can play a vital role like Anaguta,Afizere Berom, Pan, Ngas, Irigwe, Tarok,Goemai etc must have joking activities bringing them together" He added.
