Edo State deputy governor, comrade Philip Shaibu, has asked the Nigerian youths to adopt a more diplomatic approach in handling societal issues rather than being confrontational in driving home their demands. 

He gave the charge at the maiden edition of Comrade Dinner and Award Night put together by Owis Event alongside the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) held in Benin City. 

Shaibu said the era of barricading the roads in protest should be over as there are other ways of articulating their grievances.

The deputy governor further admonished them to strive to build institutions that work rather than building individuals. 

Earlier, the chairman Advisory board of Comrade Dinner and Award Night, Comrade Salami David, said the Comrade Dinner Award was birthed out of the need to celebrate the monumental strides that have been achieved by the student comradeship
