President
Jonathan this morning ordered three employment slots to be left open for the
families of those who died during the Saturday recruitment exercise conducted
by the Nigerian Immigration Service. The president also directed that immediate
employment be offered to injured victims who are still receiving treatment in
various hospitals across the nation. Disclosing this after the Federal
Executive Council meeting that held this morning, Minister of Information
Labaran Maku said President Jonathan directed that one of the three
beneficiaries must be female. Today's FEC meeting was devoted to the poorly
conducted NIS recruitment exercise.
The

a new panel which would conduct a fresh screening test for applicants. The
Panel is to be headed by the Chairman of the Federal Civil Service Commission,
Deaconess Joan Ayo and would have as members, a rep from the Inspector General
of Police as well as the Heads of Immigration, Nigerian Security and Civil
Defence Corp, Nigerian Prison Service, State Security Service and the Federal
Road Safety Commission.The House of Reps has also summoned the Interior
Minister and the DG of NIS to appear before it to explain the circumstances
that led to the unfortunate incident at recruitment exercise on Saturday.
