The returnees loitered around ENTRACO park because they did not have money to travel.

Some indigenes of Enugu State that were evacuated from the Central African Republic, CAR, hung around Enugu State Transport Company, ENTRACO, park as they did not have the resources to travel back home.

The returnees who spoke in Enugu on Tuesday asked the state government and public spirited individuals to come to their aid as their means of livelihood and property were destroyed in the war-devastated country.

Joseph Ani from Oduma in Aninri Local Government Area said they needed assistance to enable them cater for their families and discourage criminal activities among them.

“Some of us do not even have money to transport ourselves to our various local government areas,” he said.

“We are pleading with the government to help us because we came back with few of our luggage.

“We do not have any thing doing here in Nigeria. We are appealing to the state government and public spirited individuals to assist us in starting up businesses,’’ he added.

Mr. Ani, who is also the Secretary of the Enugu State Progressive Union in the CAR, commended the federal and state governments for assisting in bringing them back to the state.

Another returnee, Diane Odih, called for the state government’s support on the education of her two children.
