Gov't to care for, return stranded Africans

Advocate: "Seventeen of the approximately 96 citizens of Ghana and Nigeria who have been stranded in Barbados since February 15 are now being housed at the Paragon base in Christ Church.
Stressing that Government intended to provide the basic needs of the group, including food, healthcare, and housing, Minister of State in the Prime Ministers Office, Senator Maxine McClean, encouraged the stranded passengers to report to the Immigration Department. She explained that the Ghanaians and Nigerians were being considered guests of Barbados and were not subject to deportation, since they arrived on a two-week vacation and were stranded through no fault of their own after their return flight never materialised."
