Commercial sex workers in Kano have appealed to organisers of the nationwide hunger protests to engage the Federal Government in dialogue.
They told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday that the protests had crippled social-economic activities, leaving them without customers and struggling to survive.
Monica James, who operates on France Road, said that dialogue was the only option to address the grievances of the protesters.
“I have not eaten for two days because of the curfew; our customers are nowhere to be found,” she said.
She urged the organisers to shelve their protests and negotiate with the government to end the demonstrations.
Deborah Iliya, a sex worker on Yoruba Road, who reechoed James’ sentiments, described the situation as horrible, as she has not been able to find customers.
Hannatu Ibrahim, of Weather head area, also called for an end to the protests, joining the growing calls for a return of normalcy
