President
Jonathan this morning ordered three employment slots 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 President also ordered that the
last ill-fated exercise be cancelled and set up 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.
