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.

'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.
