The House of Representatives has summoned the
management of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) over its recruitment
test that turned tragic in some parts of the country. The service’s recruitment exercise in 2014 led to a
stampede which claimed 45 lives and left many more injured. Former President
Goodluck Jonathan had offered automatic employment to three members of the
family of each deceased applicants and all those injured. ‘However, the agency is yet to give effect to
the employment of families of victims of the Immigration recruitment
pandemonium as directed by the former President. The motion was taken after families of the victims staged a
protest at the National Assembly over the inability of the NIS to follow the
directive by former president, Goodluck Jonathan. The Majority Leader at the Lower Chamber, Honorable Femi
Gbajabiamila, who met with the protesters, noted that they had duly signed
letters of employment but had not being allowed to resume work.
