On 15th of March, 2014 was a day to remember in Nigeria. It was a day that Nigerian Immigration Service conducted a sham recruitment aptitude test for certain Nigerians that signified their interest in working with the organisation.
The event which led to the death of around twenty job seekers across the nation was pathetic, not only because over 6 six million people applied for less than 10,000 slots but the modus operandi of the exercise.
Each job seeker was asked to pay N1,000 for form and at the end of the day, the money was embezzled.... Hmmmm
No job, no refund of money!
Though the principal actor in the person of Abba Moro is being tried presently. But to me the government is not sincere as to the job promise offered the families that were affected.
If after two years, none of the affected family members is given a job yet and James Ocholi’s children that lost their parents last week have gotten from same federal government.
This is just a case of interest on the part of the government.... Is government really representing the MASSES?
Governance is said to be a continuum, so it doesn't matter who made the promise but the occupier of the seat.
I will not be happy with the government until this promise is fulfilled and massive job opportunities are provided for the teeming jobless youths.
Rest in peace the job martyrs.
