Demands for resource control in a restructured federation got a boost on Thursday as the Delta State governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, held a town hall meeting with youths of the state at Government House Annex in Warri.

The meeting was held at the instance of the governor and massively attended by #EndSARS youths protesters across the state as well as Deputy Governor Kingsley Otuaro, commissioners and other government officials.

The youths were drawn from student union leaders, human right activists as well as representatives of the major ethnic nationalities in the state: Urhobo, Itsekiri, Ijaw and the Isoko.

They harped on evolving a new Nigeria devoid of police brutality, oppression, corruption, nepotism, ethnic profiling and other anti-growth tendencies of leaders in the country.

Representatives of the youths were given ample opportunities to reel out their grievances and complaints against the system before the governor, who was calm to listen to them.

Topmost on the list of demands by the youth agitators at the town hall meeting, which lasted five hours amid heavy security presence, was the call for a newly restructured constitution for Nigeria with emphasis on resource control for each state in a new federation.
