Reacting to the announcement Nigerians took to twitter to dismiss the announcement as a mere distraction from the ongoing #EndSARS protest in various parts of the country. We bring you some of thee reacions below.
Do the needful before the Youths call for your resignation.
As a Minister of the Youth,you should be in support of the ongoing protests and support in every way possible.
