President Bola Tinubu has called for dialogue and an immediate end to the nationwide protests that have rocked the nation since Thursday.
He affirmed that he had heard the protesters' calls "loud and clear" and that his administration was ready to listen and address their concerns.
Tinubu also commiserated with the families of Nigerians who died during clashes with security forces and those who lost property to lootings.
He urged the protesters and organizers to suspend any further protest and create room for dialogue, which he said he has always been willing to engage in.
The President emphasized that the country requires all citizens, regardless of age, party, tribe, religion or other divides, to work together in reshaping its common destiny.
