• NIS board blames minister for tragedy
By Jaiyeola Andrews and Muhammad Bello with agency report
President Goodluck Jonathan has cancelled last Saturday’s recruitment
by the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS), which turned tragic when over
16 job seekers died in stampedes at various centres nationwide.
He directed the conduct of a fresh employment process that will be supervised by a special committee headed by the Chairman of the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC), Mrs. Joan Ayo, to fill the vacancies in the NIS.
