Nigeria Immigration Service in
Another Recruitment Scam
The Nigeria Immigration Service has
again engaged in a fresh illegal recruitment of 300 personnel, the slots
of which was shared among the top management officials.
It will be recalled that about 23 job seekers were on March 15, 2014, trampled to death at the Abuja National Stadium with several unemployed Nigerians injured, owing to recruitment scandal involving the NIS and over 60, 000 applicant.
Meanwhile, Investigations on Sunday indicated that the personnel who were on inspector cadre (levels 1-8), were employed in December, 2015.
Sources stated that the personnel were
placed on various ranks, including Inspector, Assistant Inspector,
Immigration Assistant and Chief Immigration Assistant.
It was learnt that the beneficiaries of
the illegal recruitment had been enrolled in the NIS payroll and had
been paid their January 2016 salaries.
A source said, “The personnel were
engaged during the Christmas holidays but no letter of appointment was
given out, apparently to prevent the secret recruitment from being
leaked. They called it replacement, which is another name for illegal
recruitment.
“The 300 slots were shared among the top
management team from the ACGs upwards. Some got two slots, some got
six, depending on your rank.
“The names of their preferred candidates
or applicants were submitted along with their account details and they
were placed on levels 1-8. They have been paid their January salaries,
as we speak.”
A former Comptroller-General of
Immigration, David Parradang, was suspended by the Federal Government in
August,2015 for allegedly recruiting 1,600 personnel in violation of
extant laws.
Parradang was found to have issued
appointment letters to 700 Assistant Inspectors of Immigration as well
as 900 Immigration Assistants III into the NIS without approval.
Parradang’s suspension led to the
appointment of the current CG, Martin Abeshi, who was said to have
engaged the 300 personnel with the approval of the Civil Defence, Fire,
Immigration and Prisons Board.
When contacted on Sunday, the NIS Public
Relations Officer, Ekpedeme King, said he could not confirm the
recruitment exercise. “I am not aware of this,” he stated over the
telephone.
