 Meanwhile in Lagos, thousands of job seekers who were invited to take an aptitude test by the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) seized all roads leading to the National Stadium venue of the test in protest, shortly after they were told it has been postponed. The young job seekers asked that their N1000 processing fee be returned to them, hence they won’t be returning back home any time soon. The protest took place for several hours with the candidates chanting anti- government songs and blocking major roads.



According to reports, at least 100, 000 job seekers came out for the screening test which was supposed to hold at the 45,000-capacity National Stadium.

Meanwhile, some people have called on the Minister of Interior, Mr. Abba Moro that the N1000 processing fee was uncalled for, and with about 6,000,000 candidates they will be making N6,000,000,000.  But the minister explained that the N1,000 was charged by the consulting firm to defray cost of accessing the website to fill forms.

The Minister is a disappointment to GEJ government. His response shows that he is connection with the collections. In the first place, how can a people oriented government allow a consultant to charge poor unemployed Nigerians to apply for a government job? Does he realise that it is the responsibility of government to provide the jobs to Nigerians at no cost?. Secondly, how on earth can he allow a consulting firm (possibly set up by them for the purpose) to rape poor Nigerian youths if N6b and he is foolish enough to justify it? 100,000 youths were invited into a venue that can only accommodate 45,000 people. Was the intention to stampede these youths and cause deaths?
we demand that: 1.   name of the consulting firm be published, investigated to know the owners, and seize its licence.
2.  The Minister and the Ministry be investigated for their connection with the consulting firm.
3.   The so called consulting firm be instructed to refund the funds to Nigerians.
4.   The Minister and his cohorts be sacked and prosecuted under the criminal law.
All of these request should be effected with immediately.
