SailorXY: Federal House of Reps ask Immigration to refund the N1000
employment form fees to job seekers.
The House of
Representatives has
directed the Nigeria
Immigration Service
(NIS) to refund the
N1,000 fee
applicants in its last
recruitment
exercise paid for
employment form.
The Joint
Committee on Public
Service Matter,
Employment, Labour and Productivity as well as Anti-Corruption,
National Ethics and Values was mandated by the House to probe
racketeering of job placement in the public service.
At the two-day public hearing yesterday, the committee decried the
flagrant contravention of public service rules by the NIS, Nigeria
Customs Service (NCS) and Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC),
among others, on recruitment.
The three agencies were asked to return today, having failed to
provide the committee with documents on the procedure for their
recruitment.
The Nigeria Immigration Service provided conflicting documents, and
failed to follow due process in its recruitment.
A document showed that 2,005 people were employed in 2011,
with another putting the figure at 2,550. Both documents, however,
did not record the qualifications of the new employees. What?!!!!
The House committee was shocked when Secretary to the Board of
Civil Defence, Fire, Immigration and Prison Service Board, Sylvanus
Tapgun, the body responsible for recruitment into those agencies, said
he did not know the bank account number into which the revenue
generated from the sale of application forms was lodged. Story!!!
He was also unable to tell the committee the firm handling the
collection of the forms, and faled too to give the number of forms
sold. Sharp guy!!!
Tapgun also claimed to be unaware of the House Representatives’
resolution urging the NIS to stop collecting fees for the employment
forms.
“I did not place the advertisement; it was done by my predecessor. I
don’t know the account number. I resumed office on September 18,
2013. I read the minutes of the last meeting of the board in August
and it was not about recruitment but promotion in Immigration and
Prison Services,” he said.
So this is how these Federal government agencies extort money from
job seekers. Even as they already have comfortable jobs, they're still
not satisfied. Maybe extorting 1000 Naira from every job seeker in
Nigeria will give them a lifetime satisfaction.
I just hope this won't end here. I urge the Federal House of Reps to
follow it up.
Naija! Everyone wants to make more money at all cost. Even if it
means starving the poor, poisoning the orphans, committing murder,
extorting money from job seekers, whatever it is, just to get richer
and richer and richer and richer.
SMH.
