Enugu State being “The Coal City” of the nation is situated
on a very high hill known as milking Hill in the Eastern part of Nigeria. Strangers
and visitors to the state will bypass milking Hill before getting into the
Urban Area of the City. The city is a platform of peaceful atmosphere which
previously comprises of numerous destitute roaming the nook and cranny of the
streets districts of the state in search of food and Greener pasture for daily
survival.
It is an awesome experience during previous Administration
that the destitute constituted nuisance in the street, begging for alms and at
the same time fighting within the major expressways of different districts of
the main City. As a result the Governor Sullivan Chime’s administration mad a
provision for them. Now the destitute in Enugu State are sheltered and have a
permanent base where they can take off in search of food for daily survival and
return at the end of every daily activity to rest. These have reduced the
numerous numbers destitute within metropolis, taking them away from the city to
the rural Areas where life can be more comfortable and enjoying for their
suitable standard of living.
The recent research and interview carried out in 2014 shows
that most of the destitute roaming the street were trained from motherless baby
home. Some of them on getting to maturity realize their status in the society
and as a result of trying to compromise and change their identity to adapt in
the environment, as well as be accepted in the society. They gets involves in
all sorts of atrocities like picking pockets, cultism, Raping of Mad People,
and robbing and killing of innocent
citizen in the night hours at motor park.
The Ugly experience has brought about the steps and
relocation of destitute who comprises nuisance in the City to remote Area for
their survival as well. Those steps the State government took have brought
about changes within the metropolis. The littering of main city roads with pure
water sachets and other darts of Rubbish has ceased to exist as before they
were perambulating the streets and main city road. The main City road has dirty
bin stands like covered plastic buckets provided by ESWAMA (Enugu State Waste
Management Authority) for accommodating dirt and rubbish. The security
operative has also been mandated by state government Authorities to catch and
charge file for any citizen found littering the main city express road with
rubbish.
