Immigration Exam in Pictures - Photos
Posted on Mon 17th Mar, 2014 - www.hotnigerianjobs.com --- (43 comments)The sad stories emanating from different centres across the country where the Nigeria Immigration Service tests were scheduled to hold call for grave concern. Expectedly, their narration vividly paints a picture of complete failure owing to lack of proper planning and coordination.

To start with, reports from the Abuja National Stadium, venue for Abuja candidates are heart-troubling. The vehicular and human traffic was crazy. The entire airport road leading to the city centre was completely blocked. FRSC officials deployed to manage the situation were helpless. They just couldn’t control the increasing crowd.
The crowd was massive. The sea of heads captured by the camera lenses of some applicants is frightening. The Abuja National Stadium with a 60,000 seating capacity couldn’t contain applicants as they stretched beyond Games Village extending to Area 1 and the popular Wonderland Amusement Park area. Expectedly, the mad rush by some applicants to gain entry into the main bowl of the stadium resulted in what many described as partial stampede. Unfortunately, a total of seven precious lives were lost in Abuja alone, while applicants totaling 38 sustained varying degree of injuries. We learnt both the dead and injured were taken to the National hospital. It was a terrible situation in Abuja. This narration by a veteran labour reporter and journalist, Mrs. Juliana Taiwo Obalonye says it all. “It’s incredible what I just witnessed at the Stadium Abuja. All the area from Berger, Area 1, Games Village, Lugbe! All blocked and people have resorted to either driving one way or coming down or trekking for those without cars! Reason? Immigration Exams taking place at the national stadium!
“It is scary because I actually thought it was a church programme! But these are jobless Nigerians - pregnant women, youths, middle age Nigerians! There is crisis in this country! I'm told same thing is happening nationwide. How many is the immigration going to employ among all these people? What sought of thing is this? Again no proper traffic planning. There is chaos right here, complete indiscipline and break down of law and order.
Below are some of the pictures taken during the NIS Exam centers in various centers.
Nawa for this unemployment.
