Speaking to State House correspondents the Senate President Ahmed Lawan urged the protesters to give the government time to work on their other demands.

He said the demonstrations that now involve blocking of roads will have an enormous economic impact on the country.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives also called for an end to the protests, arguing that policy matters cannot be met overnight.

He however congratulated the protesters for a job well done assuring them that they can continue with the protests if their demands are not met in two weeks.
