From Ndubuisi Orji, Abuja

The House of Representatives has appealed to Nigerians, urging them to reconsider plans for nationwide protests against the current economic hardship in the country.

The House also resolved to donate 50% of members’ salaries for the next six months to ameliorate the suffering of Nigerians.

During discussions on a motion by Ibrahim Isiaka regarding the proposed mass protests, House members argued that nationwide demonstrations at this time would not be in the best interest of the country and urged the organisers to reconsider their plans.
