Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano has received the 3rd batch of Anambra indigenes evacuated from troubled Plateau State.
According to state reports, the evacuated Indigenes were dropped by the GUO bus terminal, at the UNIZIK junction, Awka.
Obiano, who was represented by Anambra State Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Mr C Don Adinuba, while receiving them, reiterated that his government has always factored in the welfare of Anambra Indigenes in the diaspora and would continue to ensure better livelihood for them.
Noting that this was the third set of Anambra citizens evacuated from Jos by “GUO” in partnership with the state government, he added prompt intervention was necessary because the lives of the evacuees was at stake.
Expressing relief that they were home, he added that the personal data of the returnees and other information will be collected for other necessary action.
The move by the state government follows similar mass evacuations of students and indigenes by state governments from Plateau state after recent violence that erupted in parts of the state.
Obiano through an agreement brokered with transport giant, “GUO” had first instructed that all students of the University of Jos who hail from Anambra be evacuated.
He later extended the gesture to all Anambra indigenes in Plateau State.
