NIS: Families Of Stampede Victims Appeal To Jonathan by MichaelSokoto(m): 12:33am On Jan 21, 2015 |
BENIN—TEN months after families of the victims of March 15, 2014, Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS, recruitment stampede were promised employment by the Federal Government, an appeal has gone to President Goodluck Jonathan from families in Edo State to fulfill his pledge. Addressing newsmen in Benin at the premises of Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, in Benin yesterday, spokesman for the group, Mr. Edmund Osumah, alleged that information at their disposal indicated that the names of the original victims, which were documented in the hospitals they were rushed to by officials of the FRSC and NIS, were now being substituted with names of those that were not victims. He said: “Sadly, it is now over 10 months since Mr. President, in an attempt to remove despair and bring hope to the NIS victims and their families, issued the directive and none of the victims from the recruitment disaster has heard as much as a whimper from the NIS, Ministry of Internal Affairs or the Federal Government.” He lamented that families of the victims were still living in despair, pains and trauma, arising from the way the Presidency was handling the issue. They lamented that in a decent society, Mr. Abba Moro, who had earlier taken responsibility for the incident, ought to have resigned his appointment. www.vanguardngr.com/2015/01/nis-families-stampede-victims-appeal-jonathan/ |

It's indeed pathetic. I know how it feels when one falls into such situation of expecting unrealistic promises. Meanwhile I am sure the likes of Doyin and Reuben will address the press soon for denial of promise by the presidency... 1 Like |
