Lagos state government has successfully evacuated indigenes of Lagos state who are students of University of Jos (UNIJOS), Plateau state. The students were evacuated following the recent attacks and killings in the state.
The first set of evacuees, comprising 64 UNIJOS students and the three-week-old-baby, named Daniella. After their arrival, the students met with Governor Sanwo-Olu at the Lagos state secretariat, Alausa, Ikeja, before being released to their families.
The students who were accompanied by security agents and government officials arrived at the Lagos State Secretariat, Alausa with their belongings in a luxury bus and other vehicles after long hours of journey from Jos to Lagos.
The students who were so excited to be evacuated from crisis-hit Jos and other parts of Plateau state sang praises and showered praises on Governor Sanwo-Olu and top officials of the Lagos state government for rescuing them from what they described as the ‘war zone.’
While receiving the students, Governor Sanwo-Olu said the evacuation shows that Lagos State Government had the capacity to respond to any emergency when it concerns the people of the State, especially the youth. Governor Sanwo-Olu who was represented by the State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, said welfare packages had been arranged for the students to return to their families safe and sound.
