It posited that street protests leading to blockage of federal highways, access to airports and disruption of flights would lead to a breakdown of law and order.

The MMWG noted that in Nigeria, when lawful protests were set in motion, miscreants and unpatriotic elements usually hijacked such lawful protests to wreak havoc on the people such as was witnessed during #EndSARS protests two years ago.

It therefore, appealed to Nigerian students to allow peace to prevail by exercising a little patience more for the crisis to be resolved.
