Senior officers in the Nigeria Immigration Service,
recently released a statement, in defence of their
suspended boss, David Parradang.
In the statement, obtained from Linda Ikeji’s
blog, they claimed he was suspended wrongly.
Presenting their case, they said: “That the recent
letter of suspension of the Comptroller General
reference CDFIPB/IMM/348/Vol.I/54 dated 21st
August 2015 and signed by one AA Ibrahim,
Director/Secretary is at variance with the letters
and intention of the provisions of section 4(3) of
the Board’s Act is not contestable. In the letter
the signatory claimed to be directed to issue the
letter by a supposedly superior authority which
normally should be the Presidency but signed the
said letter for and on behalf of himself. This is
not only curious but quite unusual of Federal
Civil Service practice. The whole exercise borders
on someone usurping the power he never had to
issue such a letter especially to a chief executive
who was appointed by the President and
Commander-in-Chief.”
Talking about the recruitment of personnel, the
said after the recruitment debacle of March 15,
2014, “The Federal Government led by the former
President, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR
was shaken to its foundations. A rescue mission
was embarked on, upon the realization that
some cronies at the Board have not only
swindled these young Nigerians, but also sent
them to their early graves for the job they never
got.
A Committee known as The Presidential
Committee to Assist in Immigration Recruitment
was constituted on 26th March, 2014 by the
former President, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan,
GCFR. The membership of that committee
includes;
1. The Chairman Federal Civil Service
Commission (Chairman)
2. The Permanent Secretary (General Services)
OSGF
3. The Comptroller- General of Immigration
4. The Representative of the Inspector General of
Police
5. The representative of the DG Department of
State Services
6. The representative of the Corps Marshal FRSC
7. The representative of the Commandant
General Civil Defense Corps
8. The representative of the Controller- General
Prisons
9. The representative of the Attorney General of
the Federation
10. The representative of D G, Federal Character
Commission
11. The representative of the Head of Service
The terms of reference of this Committee as
signed by the then Secretary to the Government
of the Federation, Sen. Anyim Pius Anyim
includes;
i. To liaise with the Board to confirm the actual
number of personnel to be recruited
ii. To assist the Board by advertising the
recruitment with a view to starting the process
afresh
iii. To assist the Board by processing the
application, short listing of potential applicants
and conducting necessary interviews for the
purpose of the recruitment exercise
iv. To assist the Board by following all relevant
laws, Public Service Rules and guidelines to
determine successful applicants and announce
their appointment into the NIS
v. To ensure that three family members of each
deceased applicant from the aborted exercise, at
least one of whom should be a female are given
immediate and automatic appointment
vi. To ensure that all those injured are given
immediate and automatic appointment in the
NIS.
The Presidential Committee got into action and
advertisement for job vacancies was placed in
various media platforms. CGI Parradang was
neither the chairman of the Committee nor the
Secretary but just an ordinary member whose
central concern was to make any useful
contributions that would remove the NIS which
he headed from public ridicule occasioned by the
botched March 15, 2014 recruitment fraud
organized and supervised by the Board/Ministry."
Adding that "The Committee deployed the
Computer- Based Test (CBT) option for selection
of candidates and this culminated in the
enlistment of about 1600 recruits through a
much better process than the botched March 15,
2014 recruitment exercise. All these were of
junior rank of which the enabling laws of the
land (PSR 020103) allow the Comptroller General
as the head of the extra ministerial agency to
recruit.”
