Jonathan Approves Three Job Slots Each For Family’s Of Dead Immigration Job Seekers

The Federal Executive Council (FEC) on Wednesday approved three vacancy slot for the family of each of the 19 job seekers that died during last Saturdays’ Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) recrruitment exercise nationwide.
The Minister of Information, Labaran Maku disclosed this to State House correspondents at the end of FEC presided over by President Good luck Jonathan.
The gesture follows the public outcry that trailed the conduct of the recruitment exercise where about 19 job seekers were killed and several others injured.
According to him, one of the three slots must be a female. He also disclosed that all the injured job seekers are also to be given automatic job in the immigration service.
He said that the last Saturday recruitment exercise has been cancelled while a fresh one will be conducted under the Chairmanship of the Federal Civil Service Commission with an inter-ministerial panel.
The Government, he said, has also stopped all government agencies, apart from Army and Police, from carrying out such physical recruitment exercise.
