NIS RECRUITMENT TRAGEDY

NIS-Recruitment-Tragedy

At least 16 job seekers died, while scores of others were injured during the recruitment exercise conducted by the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) in March 2014.

NIS had 4000 vacant positions but 6.5 million people applied, leading to stampede, exhaustion and total breakdown of law and order in virtually all the 36 states and the federal capital territory (FCT). Many Nigerians believe that the government did not handle the issue appropriately.

  1. Thank God for what President Goodluck E.Jonathan was able to achieve. I pray divine support for President Buhari and his team to build on what has been done so far. God bless President Jonathan, his family and lineage. God bless Nigeria.

  2. My humble prayer for Jonathan and wife is that the peace they give Nigeria,the blood of Nigerians they protected and confusion people would have ran into they blocked,May the good God bless them and their generation to come with His Peace that passes human understanding,protect them from maner of confusion and blood shed from their family.
    Their Christian has proved right upon the battle they suffered for good four years yet this family could show the world that forgiveness is Christians way of life and that is what you can find from Eastern Nigeria.God bless Nigeria.
