Yemi Osinbajo, acting President, has reacted to the #IStandWithNigeria Protests that took place today.

Osinbajo, while declaring a Public Consultative Forum on Nigeria Economy Recovery & Growth Plan #NERGP open, said that the government has heard the demands of the protesters, adding that it is working “day and night” to make life easier for Nigerians.

Osinbajo said:

“To those who are protesting, WE HEAR YOU loud and clear. To those who are on the streets protesting the economic situation & those who are not, but feel the pain of economic hardship, we hear you. You deserve a decent life and and we are working night and day to make life easier”.

We really hope the government listens to the cries of the masses and do the needful asap.
