The Federal Government has given automatic employment to
105 candidates and relatives of the failed 2014 Nigeria Immigration Service
(NIS) recruitment as compensation for those that died and sustained injuries
during the exercise.
This is contained in a statement signed by Mr Bassey
Akpanyung, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Interior and made available to
newsmen on Monday in Abuja.
The statement said that after due verification, employment
was given to three family members of each deceased applicant from the aborted
exercise, of which fifteen families were identified, and a total of 45 family
members selected. It said that 60 others who were injured in the exercise were
also given employment after verification by relevant government agencies.
The statement further said that the two categories of
beneficiaries are now undergoing training at various camps of the NIS in
compliance with the presidential directive.
It said that the recruitment conducted by the Special
Presidential Committee constituted in the wake of the aborted exercise of March
2014 was being looked into.
The Ministry advised all those affected in the exercise to
remain calm and observe decorum while the Ministry resolves the matter.
