Public Relations Officer of the Nigerian Immigration, Chukwuemeka Obuah, confirmed this after advertorials were placed in major media outlets for that purpose.
Obuah noted: “The Presidential Committee To Assist In Immigration Recruitment on Monday February 9, 2015 placed advertorial in some national dailies requesting applications from suitable Nigerians for enlistment into the Nigeria Immigration Service starting from 9th February 2015 to 22nd March, 2015. the application is free and must be done online”.
The stampede that occurred during the poorly planned NIS aptitude test on Saturday, March 15,2014, had led to the death of over 20 applicants with several others injured.
Reports also revealed that there were only 4, 000 vacancies that were to be filled in NIS, while the Ministry of Interior approved the sale of application scratch cards to over 520, 000 citizens, amounting to over $3, 000,000 in revenue to the ministry, and yet it failed to provide adequate provision for the conduct of standard recruitment aptitude test.
At the wake of the Scam and subsequent Deaths, the presidency promised to sack Minister of Interior Abba Moro but failed to do so as the minister remains in charge.
