In a heartfelt appeal during the National Independence Service at the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Creekside, Prime Minister Gaston Browne urged congregations across Antigua and Barbuda to pray for Jamaica and the 45 Antiguan and Barbudan students currently in Kingston as Hurricane Melissa wreaks havoc on the island. The students, relocated to the Jamaica Pegasus Hotel under government arrangements, are receiving full support, including accommodation and meals, until the storm subsides. Speaking from Dominica, Browne expressed gratitude to those involved in the relocation efforts and reaffirmed his government’s commitment to ensuring the safety of the students. He emphasized that all necessary resources would be mobilized to protect the young nationals. The Prime Minister, who is closely monitoring the situation, is scheduled to return to Antigua on Monday.
