FG Gives New Employment Condition To Victims Of Ill Fated Immigration Recruitment Exercise

The Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Nigeria Immigration
Service (NIS) Chukwuemeka Obua on Monday announced that
victims of the ill fated March 15, 2014 recruitment exercise
would be employed after a fresh exercise.
Obua, who made this known to NAN in Abuja said, the service
would liaise with the committee that was set up by Sen. Anyim
Pius Anyim, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation,
which was saddled with the responsibility of assisting the
Paramilitary Board in conducting a fresh exercise.
It said the committee and the board would confirm the actual
number of personnel to be recruited and assist in re-advertising
the recruitment with a view to starting the process afresh,
adding that it would also assist the board by processing the
applications, short-listing potential candidates and conducting
the necessary interviews for the purpose of the exercise.The statement further revealed that the committee was also to
ensure that three family members of each of the deceased
applicants, at least one of whom should be a female, and those
injured, were given immediate and automatic employment in
the service. The committee was issued 12 weeks to finish its
assignment.
Obua said that although the date for the fresh exercise was yet
to be fixed, the committee which had David Parradang, the
Comptroller-General of the Service as member, was working
tirelessly to ensure a hitch free exercise this time.
"The committee is more transparent and is currently working
out modalities for a fresh exercise. I have been contacted to
draft advertorials to inform suitable applicants who wish to
partake in the exercise" he said.
The PRO explained that applicants of the botched recruitment
who wished to partake in the fresh exercise must apply again
because the President had cancelled the March 15 exercise. It would be recalled that on March 15, 2014 the service
conducted a nationwide recruitment that unfortunately led to
the death of some applicants with several others severely
injured following a stampede that occurred at the centre.
