#TurksandCaicos, January 11, 2023 – Ten residents of Provo Children’s Home are now British Overseas Territory Citizens thanks to the work of various government employees including Governor Nigel Dakin, James Astwood, Permanent Secretary and the former PS, Althea Been.

The announcement came from Governor Nigel Dakin only a week and a half after he revealed the 7-year-old survivor of the Caesar family murder tragedy would be granted citizenship.

The long process was made more sensitive by the backstories of the 10 children according to Dakin.  He maintained though that it was a “right” for all of them and not a gift; also a promise kept.
