Federal government has been urged to create more avenues that will enhance women and youth participation in governance and decision making process to reduce restiveness and insecurity in the country.

Chairman of the Forum and a member from Kebbi State in the House of Representatives, Alhaji Kabir Ibrahim Tukura said carrying the young people along will engage them to contribute immensely in nation building.

The Forum also advised government to demonstrate commitment to reforming the police, ending the lingering ASUU strike as well as one year tuition fees palliative for students as compensation.
