Edo State governor, Adams Oshiomhole,
has given automatic employment to 20
victims of the last Nigerian Immigration
Service (NIS) recruitment tragedy of March
15, 2014, and also gave the sum of N2
million to the widower and children of the late Mrs. Sandra Amu who died in the
commotion. This is coming almost a year after the
Federal Government promised automatic
employment to those injured in the
exercise and three employment slots to
families of those who lost their loved ones
in the recruitment fiasco. Disclosing the employment offer during a
meeting with the family of the woman
who lost her life and eleven of the 20
persons who sustained injuries during the
ill-fated recruitment held at the Samuel
Ogbemudia Stadium, Benin City on Satur­ day, March 15, 2014, Oshiomhole said, “It
is unlawful for people seeking
employment to pay money. It is the
employer who pays the consultant and
not the applicant. That transaction was
mainly illegal collection and it is extortion. “I think it is important that people don’t
exploit office power to compound the
problem of those who are already down.
What we can, without prejudice to
whatever plans the Immigration Services
or the Ministry of Internal Affairs is making, is to see how we can assist in
terms of employment. “The government will also provide the
family of the deceased with legal
representation so as to sue the Immigra­
tion authorities for the loss of life. Each
time people are reckless with human lives
and they go home and sleep, it is why we talk about the culture of impunity, where
people can do anything and go free.” He continued: “We are also going to offer
the graduates employment opportunities
in our Information Communication
Technology Agency if they are interested
in that. In that case, you need to take
their documents and they start work by Monday. However, if the Immigration
option opens up, you are at liberty to
move from one job to another”, he said. Earlier, Coordinator of the group, Mr.
Edmond Osuma had told the governor of
their challenges since the Immigration
recruitment exercise of March 14 2014 that
since the incident happened it has been a
serious problem getting in contact with the Controller of Immigration. He solicited the assistance of the governor
to enable the group see the immigration
authorities and requested the governor’s
magnanimity to alleviate the hardship of
the victims. The victims told the governor that while
they paid one thousand naira each,
online, before going for the recruitment,
they are yet to get a refund one year after
the tragedy.

Double standard, why did you order those who wrote in Edo state to go for a compulsory medical test that cost them the sum of 1,500 and some even more, how come you din't direct the Hospital management board to refund this money since last year?

Stupiiid talk

Politicians and their manipulations!

You saw the groundswell of resentment to your unpopular government in Edo State and then you chose to make a political capital from an unfortunate immigration recruitment exercise.

Oga we are not fools o...
