FG Cancels Controversial Recruitment Into Nigeria Immigration Service
Following allegations of skewed recruitment in favour of applicants
from certain section of the country and non-advertisement of its
recruitment process, the Minister of Interior, Comrade Abba Moro has
directed the immediate cancellation of the ongoing recruitment exercise
into the Nigeria Immigration Service.
Comrade Moro directed further that all appointment letters issued and documentation carried out stand cancelled until the Civil Defence immigration and Prisons Service board, meet to consider the waiver granted the Nigeria Immigration Service to recruit men and women into the service.
It would be recalled that the Controller General of the Nigeria Immigration Service, Mrs Rosemary Chinyere Uzoma, who has just three months to the expiration of her tenure, while defending the secret recruitment exercise into the service at the insistence of the House of Representatives Committee on Federal Character, said, the decision was taken so as not to unknowingly recruit terrorists into the highly sensitive organization.
