560 Nigerian Returnees From Libya Arrive Port Harcourt by Marcoassensio: 10:25am On Jan 14, 2018 |
The third batch of 560 Nigerian returnees from Libya have arrived
Port Harcourt, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.
Mr Martins Ejike, the South-South Zonal Coordinator, National
Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), made this known to
newsmen on Sunday in Port Harcourt.
Ejike said that the returnees, comprising 540 adult and 20 infants,
arrived the airport on board Max Air, with registration No: 5N-HMM
at about 11:52 p.m.
However, he expressed dissatisfaction over poor response of some
state governments in evacuating the Libyan returnees from the
reception centre in the state.
The zonal coordinator said that the Federal Government gave the
states 48 hours to enable them evacuate their returnees from the
centre,
He expressed dismay that some states failed to abide by the
directives, noting that South-West states are not responding to the
evacuation process.
Ejike said that the choice of Port Harcourt airport as evacuation route
was based on proximity to the most affected states.
“A graphic showed that Edo state along recorded 309 out of 484
migrants, the record also showed that over 80 per cent of the
returnees were indigenes of Edo and Delta states.
“It is more convenient for the largely affected states to evacuate their
returnees from Port Harcourt,” he said.
Mr Muhammad Dahiru, the Public Relations Officer of Max Air, also
said that the airline was competent to convey 1,680 returnees if
passengers were cleared without delays.
Dahiru said that the airline deployed three air crafts with 560 capacity
each for the operation, adding that speedy operation can be
actualised if passengers documentation and clearance are not
delayed.
One of the returnees, Mr Paul Eke, who thanked the federal
government on ensuring smooth return of migrants, said that the
measure showed government’s commitment to its citizens.
Eke also urged the government to continue its rescue process to the
hinterland in the Libyan states where some Nigerians were being
imprisoned and unjustly tortured.
“I urge our federal government to do more by rescuing some
Nigerians who are still trapped in some interior parts of Libya.
“I stayed in Zawe Superata, this place is like an exit point to Italy and
so many Nigerians are still being imprisoned there,” Eke alleged.
