ABUJA—Indications emerged last night that the immediate past Interior Minister, Mr. Abba Moro, tried but failed to hijack the rescheduled recruitment of 1,600 Nigerians into the Nigerian Immigration Service.


Investigations by Vanguard indicate that Moro, whose ministry supervised Immigrations, Prisons and Civil Defence, had objected to the conduct of the recruitment into NIS by the Presidential Committee raised by former President, Goodluck Jonathan.

Vanguardinvestigation further revealed that Moro tried in vain to stop the presidential committee from recruiting the new hands by raising some legal issues to justify his position, but was overruled by the then Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, Mohammed Adoke.

Moro’s attempt to take charge of the new recruitment exercise followed the death of no fewer than 15 NIS job applicants and the loss of at least N1 billion by those who had to part with N1,000 each as a condition for taking part in the controversial and tragic process.

Documents obtained byVanguardin Abuja yesterday, indicated that the former minister, in a memo dated February 17, and addressed to the Attorney-General of the Federation, objected to allowing the presidential committee to handle the recruitment in conjunction with the Immigrations and Prisons Services Board, IPSB, saying it could be illegal.

The memo, with reference No. MI/HMO/S.373/11/25, signed by Moro and addressed to the HAFG, the former minister claimed that neither the presidential committee nor the IPSB had the expressed power to venture into the recruitment of staff for the NIS.

Findings byVanguardshow that the NIS Controller-General, Mr. David Paradang, who was desirous of getting more fresh hands into the service, fell a victim of the recruitment exercise by making the board to ratify the appointment of the 1,600 staff, following the clearance given by the Attorney-General that the exercise was in order.

Paradang had requested that a total of 4,556 officers and men should be recruited to shore up the NIS operations, but the former Minister of Finance and the Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, overruled him, saying that there was no money to support that large number.

Rather than get the 4,556 staff at once, the minister directed that the number should be spread over three years.

The NIS boss was suspended by President Muhammadu Buhari last week over the controversial exercise and is yet to be recalled.

"Oba Moro",, WHAT? So this man have not be sentence to LIFE IMPRISONMENT yet? Oh my God....

Well, Oba Moro, your days are number... Even if you are not sentence to death or Life Imprisonment, am sure that those that Loose their Lives during your fraudulent recruitment will not let you have Peace of Mind..

When the time for you to go to your last home (Kirirkiri Maximum Prison) comes, then a fool called Fayose will tell us that Buhari is witch hunting.....

I want EFCC to start probing of Fayose.... I think all nairalanders can remember the #400million saga between Fayose and Obasanjo led administration....

Fayose collected a poultry contract from Obasanjo then and Fayose lied to Obasanjo that he has finished the Contract.. By the time that Obasanjo came to Inspect the Poultry, the Fowl in the poultry is not more than 100fowls....

That was the main reason why Obasanjo hate Fayose till today......

EFCC, if you truly want to work, then Fayose must be PROBE....

Wailers, it's all over to you

Abba.....EFCC this guy need a thorough probe, Dont allow him to go free.

#abbamoro4kirikiri

You know sometimes I often wonder if these people where ones poor and in dire need of food and shelter, do they even have conscience?

God knows I will never forgive that Moro for the wicked and poor management of the NIS recruitment exercise that led to the deaths of many Nigerian job seekers.

He should be held accountable being the minister of Interior at the time. Not only were the job seekers denied the jobs; they were also denied their precious and irreplaceable lives.

Space booked






Notin reasonable to comment
