Finally! Federal Government To Conduct Fresh Nigerian Immigration Service Recruitment

Published

on

The Federal Government has stepped up plans to conduct a fresh recruitment exercise for the Nigerian Immigration Service for 2015, following the ill-fated April 2014 exercise.

The recruitment exercise conducted last year, had over 700,000 applicants, who were levied N1,000 each and had to struggle for space in small examinations halls, while others grappled to get comfortable in stadiums across the country. Unfortunately, the haphazard arrangement of the test, led to the death of three applicants and several injuries sustained by other job seekers. Public outcry trailed the conduct of the test, and the Federal Government moved swiftly to cancel the exercise and promise automatic employment to relations of the deceased and other palliative, to the injured.

Ten months on from that promise, the Federal Government has decided to conduct a fresh recruitment, with the setting up of a presidential committee, to that regard.

Below is an official statement to the effect:

APPOINTMENT AS MEMBER/SECRETARY, PRESIDENTIAL COMMITTEE TO ASSIST ON IMMIGRATION RECRUITMENT

I write to inform you that His Excellency, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan, GCFR, has approved the composition and mandate of the Special Presidential Committee to assist the Civil Defence, Fire Service, Immigration and Prisons Board to re-conduct the aborted recruitment into the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS).
