: Immigration Recruitment! Lagos Job Seekers Protest, Halt Traffic

Meanwhile in Lagos, thousands of job seekers who
were invited to take an aptitude test by the Nigerian
Immigration Service (NIS) seized all roads leading
to the National Stadium venue of the test in protest,
shortly after they were told it has been postponed.
The young job seekers asked that their N1000
processing fee be returned to them, hence they
won’t be returning back home any time soon. The
protest took place for several hours with the
candidates chanting anti- government songs and
blocking major roads.
According to reports, at least 100, 000 job seekers
came out for the screening test which was
supposed to hold at the 45,000-capacity National
Stadium.
Meanwhile, some people have called on the Minister
of Interior, Mr. Abba Moro that the N1000
processing fee was uncalled for, and with about
6,000,000 candidates they will be making
N6,000,000,000. But the minister explained that the
N1,000 was charged by the consulting firm to
defray cost of accessing the website to fill forms.
