Jonathan Orders Cancellation of Immigration Recruitment That Killed Over 20 Jobseekers

NIGERIA, Abuja : Job-seekers applying for work at the Nigerian immigration department scramble as their exam papers fly in the air, on the pitch of Abuja National Stadium, on March 15, 2014.

The presidential directive was given at today's Federal Executive Council meeting where the president further directed that all those who lost their loved ones would have automatic slot for three applicants, one of whom must be a woman.

While ordering that the ill-fated exercise be cancelled, the president ordered a fresh exercise to be conducted by an inter-ministerial panel under the chairmanship of the Federal Civil Service Commission.

The panel has the Comptroller-General of NIS as well as representatives of the Inspector-General of Police and the heads of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, Nigerian Prisons Service, State Security Service and the Federal Road Safety Commission as members.

Mr. Jonathan, Maku said, also directed all government agencies, apart from Army and Police, to stop carrying out such physical recruitment exercise.

Enough is enough!

Government needs to find solution to the unemployment rate by encouraging the young graduate to establise work. And with the view of nis recruitment, it shows that government can not provide employment for half of number graduate in this country. I implore the govt to help the graduated students to be self establishment.

Mr president, the yoouth have really suffered enough in this country, i dont think think theres need to cancel the NIS examination exercise for no reason.. you have decided to compensate the dead ones and injured ones which i am one of the injured. The candidates really suffered before we could write the exam so i urge you to favor us by considering the NIS examination positively. We are all in need and suffering. May God help us all
