About 10 young Nigerians seeking to get employed by the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) met their untimely death on Saturday 15th March 2014 during a stampede at The National Stadium where over 80, 000 unemployed Nigerian where invited to write a test for the job vacancies for 4000. The unemployment rate in Nigeria in very high and that is why a whole lot of youths has turn to crime to survive. To make the matter worst the NIS official asked the jobless applicant to pay N1,000 (US$7) each just to make some sharp money off the jobless youths. The way and manner corrupt government office holders are using their position to exploit money from people is disheartening. Undue materialism and greedy is the order of the day.
However, in order to checkmate the unemployment rate in Nigerian amongst the youths, we at SUCCESS STRATEGIES NIGERIA is committed to empowering the youths with skills and strategies they need to be self-employed and create wealth, because most successful people in the world and in Nigeria are entrepreneurs.
President Jonathan this morning summoned the Minister of Interior, Abba Moro and the Comptroller-General of the Nigerian Immigration Service, David Parradang, to explain last Saturday's unfortunate incident at the poorly organized NIS recruitment exercise where over ten people died during stampedes at various test centres.
The two ministers both arrived at the office of the Chief of Staff where they spent sometime before being invited into the President's office where they spent about 30mins. Both men declined to speak to reporters about their discussion with the President when they came out. Hopefully, someone will explain to us why the government would ask jobless youths to pay N1,000 to write employment test.
