NIS test tragedy: FG offers victims families automatic employment

President Jonathan this morning ordered three employment slots be left open for the families of those who died during the Saturday recruitment exercise conducted by the Nigerian Immigration Service.

The president also directed that immediate employment be offered to injured victims who are still receiving treatment in various hospitals across the nation.

Disclosing this after the Federal Executive Council meeting that held this morning, Minister of Information Labaran Maku said President Jonathan directed that one of the three beneficiaries must be female. Today's FEC meeting was devoted to the poorly conducted NIS recruitment exercise. Continue...
The President also ordered that the last ill-fated exercise be cancelled and set up a new panel which would conduct a fresh screening test for applicants. The Panel is to be headed by the Chairman of the Federal Civil Service Commission, Deaconess Joan Ayo and would have as members, a rep from the Inspector General of Police as well as the Heads of Immigration, Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corp, Nigerian Prison Service, State Security Service and the Federal Road Safety Commission.
The House of Reps has also summoned the Interior Minister and the DG of NIS to appear before it to explain the circumstances that led to the unfortunate incident at recruitment exercise on Saturday.

Nothing will ever compare to the loss of their lost loved ones. This life sha, I truly believe I was born in the wrong generation. If the families are ok with it then all is solved right??

Alloy Chikezie said...

That's a good way to at least compensate the families of the victims, but that's not enough, what happens to the money those idiot collected from tax paying Nigerian's? And what happens to the minister of interior?

So does that mean all the suffering of the other poor applicants is in vain? What of their N1000 and transportation money esp for those in adamawa,borno and yobe who had to travel to other states for the exercise? Jonathan may have good intentions but the poor youths always bear the brunt of his action.

this offer is same thing as being a suicide bomber,u die for others to enjoy.Rubbish...

Even if they aren't qualified for the role? GEJ shows his incompetence once again

Anonymous said...

Are Nigerians really this stupid? Why will he offer employment to the families of those that died? Are they presumed to be qualified? What makes them more entitled than those who weren't hurt of killed? Compensation for wrongful death can be made, but to offer them employment is as silly as every other thing GLJ has done.

Anonymous said...

not good enough... no matter how much job they are given, a life cannot be replaced. its amazing how easily nigerians dance to the rhythm of government. is 3 slots d cost of a life? is it a life time employment? what really have they gained? im just amazed at how myopic some people can be, and someone dare say this is a blessing in disguise? utter rubbish if you ask me! its only a foolish person that would abuse me and Miss Linda post my comment

That's my president.For those of us who never said well of Mr.present,am sure u will still find more grounds to judge and criticize this administration.However,my humble submission is to pray for this president of mine and indeed all leaders for indeed we have come to that junction where the Nigerian agenda and spirit is awokened.For the families,I beg u not to allow policitians to find its ugly hold with the death of ur family member or see this gesture as political pawns.
Nigerian Youths plz believe in GEJ,he may be slow but not without a course,he may lack the will,yet he always wow us all,he may yet have failed u but he hasn't finish his Race.

Unknown said...

Most of you are commending him for making a very gross mistake...people die; and the way to compensate for the loss is by giving their family jobs....what prevents more people from dying so the government can provide jobs for their families....you all should have understood by now how clueless and ineffective GEJ's government is and stop praising him for nonsense done.....this definitely has a negative ripple effect.

This is such a weak solution to the problem.

This show the incompetent nature of the president and his advisers.

Our leaders lack the ability to provide reasonable solutions. the Problem isn't the injured but the organization of the test, who is responsible for the poor organization?

those injured could have been any one of the 2Million people that applied. Why give special treatment like automatic employment?

are they competent enough?

Edo state governor did same by giving out 1M naira to a widow..do you know the number of widows in Nigeria?

How does this make sense- Four words "Fix the Damn problem" ! how hard is that , you go and employ unqualified people to continue the spate of mediocrity ? isn't that daft solution? why don't you Jona-
1. Sack the Moro(n) Interior minister, have him and his conspirators tried
2.Have a unified system of employment which is online and real time , its done elsewhere

Must we advertise the Stupidity of our leadership on a regular basis? Leaders that cannot even structure the employment of its people.. Big shame !

What a load of rubbish, nobody brought to justice and nobody held responsible for this disaster. The President and his co criminals are at fault, how can a country like Nigeria be conducting a jobs fairs without any proper safety. Technology has moved forward .....

Apple said...

Great job my dear President. Even though that won't bring the dead, it is very thoughtful of you.

Anonymous said...

The truth is Nigeria, we think backwards.
In a modern country, first thing first the DG of NIS should have resigned, but no he still has guts to pass the blame. What were the health and safety precautions he had in place? is that a normal way to conduct exams? where candidates were busy spying??? that aside.
We have seen incidents like this happen before, people die and they offer the family positions. to some extent its good but overall its poor. Because it would happen again as the root cause of incidents like this are not been examined and scrutinized.
Jobs are been offered to family members, good! but the question is would they be tested to ensure they are capable? what if the person that died was the only educated person in the family (Assuming)?
simple decision like this shows why the public sector would always be in decline and people would continually see it as a money making venture.
I just feel decisions like this from the President himself are not good enough.
God bless the dead. God bless Nigeria

I don't want to believe that both the leaders and the led have peanut minds.
Are you for real?
Those people getting employment as a compensation are they qualified?
Is that how people are employed? No wonder we have no professionalism at work!
They can be given financial compensation...that's what should be done.
Why are they not investigating the people behind this...why should they charge applicants 1000k for job application? NOBODY PAYS TO APPLY FOR A JOB ESPECIALLY GOVERNMENT JOB.

@ Linda, Nigerian leaders and the many followers (few citizens but mostly followers) are confirmed mediocres!!!
For those who commended Jonathan and his cronies' gesture as per this issue U are a follower for real and lack knowledge of what Ur human rights are. #NoApologies!
To the parastatal involved and to Jonathan the Ruler who's not fit to be addressed as a president U are a FOOL to the last letter.
Egbami mi ooo, pekele, pekele arugbo je gbese tani o san ooo?! Beats my imagination, like seriously?!
Automatic Employment for the deceased's families? Shey na compensation ni abi na wetin?! This government, I have only recently concluded about their unfit mental capability when Jonathan & his peeps decided to honour Abacha is a big mess and a deliberate human error to torture Nigerians more than we have already had it!!!
First the DG opened that gutter that reps his mouth that the candidates were impatient and now Jonathan!
He must have had an infection from his "NO SHOE" days!!!
God must be Shaking his head at our man made cum created problems!!! When we are done with this suffering we will unite and rise as one then take out and burn d souls of all these bad people by ourselves!!!
I'm now expecting Reuben Abati's response to his Oga's autistic reasoning and malfunctioning solution to this evil!!!
What a big shame!!! My heartfelt and genuine condolence to the families of these lives cut short by a few peoples' greed!!!
May Ur souls find peace which Ur country failed to grant U in this world...

Lol, Mr Nigerian president! Another screening test??! Another day, same crowd? But this time you will make sure we won't pay N 1000? If I go for the screening exercise this time I will make sure I get injured,maybe you might make open a slot for me or one of my family members. There was no diplomacy in your decision at all. You have made a mockery of the struggle of all of those people who went out for the exercise. You have said "its only till I see some dead that I dole out compensations. Elections is in 2015. I have to look good in the eye of the masses". With all due respect- RUBBISH!

It's only in Nigeria, one has to die before his or her family member is been offered automatic employment...keep fooling us! like we don't know it's all a tactic to get into our good books for your next re-election.

I think the families should be contacted for the way forward and see the best way they can relief them a bit. nothing can compensate for the loss though but a good decision is better than none.

I think the first thing should be done first. What happened to the minister and the boss of Immigration? I thought they should have sacked before this. For how long will this continue...someone has to die before his siblings will get a job. God forbid. What happened to the recommendation of the committte set up when this nonsense happened the other time. May God save us in thius country. I applaud GEJ for at least giving a little succor to those families BUT THIS IS NOT A SOLUTION TO JOBLESSNESS IN THIS COUNTRY. Thanks.

Am surprise everybody is commending Jona's offer, and forgetting to ask these questions. 1. U mean u can employ sm1 based on favouritism cos he lost a loved one instead of a credible person who is qualified to work. 2. He jst show d level of curruption in him 2 say I want dat person 2 be giving dat job cos I want him 2... The minister shud be made to suffer for d life lost and not buying d family of d dead by offering dem jobs, and I hope they reject dat offer...

Good Mr presido,but pls let the real families benefit,what I mean our politicians are dubious they can change it and the victims will not have direct access to presido for him to know whether his order was followed

I do not understand how our supposed leaders think. Seriously? Automatic employment. Smh. So even if they do not have any qualification they are good to go. Rather than putting systems in place to mitigate against such occurences. Anyway the 3 people will vote for you (jona) for 2nd term.

Smh!must pple die b4 d govt takes action on matters concerning dis nation.dis is so sad

You've not seen their promise in action yet but here you are talking about 2015. Did you not hear about the appointment termination of most of the dangote truck drivers after people were hailing him up and down? You are so gullible!!

Shut up your mouth!!! gullible being. GEJ will sell you one day without you knowing.

You know what dear, if he does nothing, you will still be disappointed, those lives has been lost already and am sure if he could bring them back he would, the guy is just doing what he feels is best under d circumstances for the family. It may not be much but it shows a human side of him. Think about it.




Anonymous said...

The same thing that happened to those dangote phd drivers who were sacked is what will happen to those who get those 3 slots in each family. And the excuse given would be that they were not qualified. Except the jobs are not the same as the ones that were advertised. It's all politics. Any intelligent person know's the game GeJ is playing. But it's a cheap and dum game just like him!

Kudos to everyone who commented on this pathetic issue, am not a regular commenter on this blog but i have to do these today,i just need to make some few points and am out.
1. 60% of the applicants are actually working class hence they were there for two major reasons; Job security or in-satisfaction cause they are majorly private firm workers. If you doubt it, i have a proof cause 1 of the deceased at the Abuja center works in a bank and confirmed these before he passed out.
2. It is an established fact that the exam was woefully conducted,but you will agree with me that Nigerians has never been patient, "wait for your turn" is never in Nigerians dictionary, everybody wants to get it done fast and leave @ the same time. Hence the rushing and stampede.
3. Nigerian youths and everybody needs to wake up and realize that Government cannot provide for everybody. if you doubt me i have a proof most household name today did not wait for Government to provide Job for them. Linda Ikeji, House of Tara, Ben Murray Bruce and a host of others are true example of these.
A Popular comedian/activist though late ( Gbenga Adeboye) once describe NIGERIANS in the best way ever that "we are like a widow, if taken care of she will say my husband was never these caring, to hell with him in heaven and if she is badly treated she will scream my husband never treated me these ill how i wish i can bring him back." meaning no Government Administration can satisfy Nigerian there must be complains. its high time we started saying good things about these country, if you give birth to a child or start a business and already have a negative mind set or speak ill about it daily, it can never bring forth positive result. i don't think Americans or other developed countries curse their President the way Nigerians do and its so pathetic.
There is a saying that we have 3 categories of people in the world; The Whites, The Blacks, and The Nigerians. We are so different with everything we do! as if many of us can stand to abuse Mr President in person, if you are given 5min to speak with him (Mr President) what will be your wish? I believe the best of this country is yet to come and it will start when we learn to be realistic and face issues with out a biased mind and stop blaming every issue of the country on the Govt, we also need to contribute our quota.
I pray God give the deceased family fortitude to bear the loss,RIP to the deceased and a quick recovery to the injured, may God heal our land. God Bless Nigeria!

The problem we nigerians have is that we are already drentched in negative criticism of the government so much that we can not even differentiate between compensations and 2015. Does your fresh degree from the university without any work experience qualify you for the job? You get experienced and qualified by 'hands-on'. An SSCE holder can do what a Master degree holder can do if trained... Thank you so much Mr President but please ensure the culprits are brought to book. God bless Nigeria! Adewalms says so!

This is what I call medicine after death.A belated offer that can only be completed with the sack of Abba Moro and the CIS.

People will be on LIB commenting rubbish. I don't know about d koran, but I know d bible says we should pray 4 our leaders. How many of us calling Jonathan "stupid & clueless" has ever taken out time to pray 4 him? If we pray 4 Nigerian leaders d same way we curse them, pls tell me why our country won't grow. Truth be told, most of us will do worse if we're given d same opportunity. Jonathan has done what he feels he can do @d moment & let's not concentrate on what he didn't do. House of Reps has summoned d NIS boss & co, why not wait to hear d end & we're already cursing & shouting "sack him". Yes d 3 employment slots can't be compared to human life, same as sacking d NIS boss. How will they get d details of everyone to refund d N1000? It won't be that easy, it might even lead to another stampede. Pls let's try to stop raining curses on our leaders, there's power in d tongue. I know Nigeria will be good one day & my only prayer is 4 God to keep me alive to see that day & I know He will do it. God Bless Nigeria.

Those condemning this humane gesture are dumb fools.what if no compensation at all was giving ? Are u going to flog Jonah.those asking if the beneficiaries are quallified don't know jack.In Nis there are even vacancies for attempted waec/sssce.so it's not abt rushing to write rubbish when most of u don't understand d issues at stake.
Our president has consistently proven to be a humane & listening president.but some of u will still come here & write bull crap on things u know nothing abt.
For Nigeria to be great it's gonna be a collective affort of all.not sit down & do nothing but criticize every & anything.

Have you pondered that those that died could still have died thru other means with nothing coming to d families.but at least in this case the employment of 3 members of each family will give d bereaved families some form of strength to bear d loss.

I'm sorry but u must be an illiterate like the president himself. Offering jobs to their families because someone died. Are they qualified for the job

Anonymous said...

Badoo of Toronto is quite knowledgeable. I wonder how u other think offering jobs to victims of the incident is a good move. It shows the level of illiteracy that abounds in this country.

Anonymous said...

I see that it's only our Nigerian blondes and illiterate men, some of who obtained a useless degree just like their president from a useless institution who will commend him for offering jobs to families of dead applicants.

Anonymous said...

This must be wisdom from above on our leader. Painful as their death is, this act of care should offer some comfort no matter how little to all of us as a grieving nation, especially the families concerned. I pray for more wisdom on our leaders and may this horror never occur again in Jesus Name.

MEDICINE AFTER DEATH! SO THERE ARE JOBS BUT THE INGRATES JUST LOVE SITTING ON THEM SO INNOCENT PEOPLE SUFFER FOR NO REASON. NONSENSE!

CommonSense said...

Oh lordy, not even sure what to say aside from the fact that this is pure and total nonsense. Compensating families is the least Jonathan can do but the President just decided to insult millions of hardworking and educated Nigerian youth by offering jobs to people whose competencies have not been tested. This is nepotism at its extreme!!! Corruption at work, in broad day light!!! In addition, the president offers no concrete solutions for resolving the problems faced on Saturday nor does he seek to address the huge issue of youth unemployment. In his mind, give people money or jobs and expect Nigerians to keep quiet. But Nigerians are far from stupid, they never were. It's about time we fought to put truly educated and rational leaders who put Nigeria first in power. Jonathan and his crew are a bunch of illiterate & unimaginative thieves. A total disgrace to the black race.

The president of the federal republic has just declared a promo on Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS)job opportunities. The promo goes thus:
-Lose one member of your family and get 3 slots free(3 job opportunities in NIS).
-Lose an eye and get an immediate employment.
-Lose one leg and get an immediate employment.
-Lose one hand and get an immediate employment.
-Provide one dead person in your family to get 3 slots free.
-Pay N1000 as a job seeker who has no income,come for a job screening exercise, make sure you lose at least one part of your body to get immediate employment. Better still, die in the process and secure 3 job slots for your family.
This is the kind of country we live in.

You think every1 has the opportunities that you have? Okay since you are so financially buoyant , I guess you should provide jobs for those unemployed youths now. Or do you want them to steal, commit fraud or prostitution to get funds? Mcheeew!! Wicked, self centred somebody!!!
