President
Goodluck Jonathan has directed that three employment slots be reserved
for the families of those who died during the stampede that occurred
during the recruitment exercise conducted by the Nigerian Immigration
Service on Saturday nationwide.
Minister of Information, Mr. Labaran
Maku, disclosed this to State House correspondents on Wednesday at the
end of the Federal Executive Council meeting which was devoted to the
incident.
He said one of the three beneficiaries must be a lady.
Jonathan also directed that all those
who sustained injuries and are currently hospitalised be given automatic
employment in the service.
While ordering that the ill-fated
exercise be cancelled, the President set up a committee led by the
Chairman of the Federal Civil Service Commission, to conduct a fresh
exercise.
The committee has the
Comptroller-General of NIS as well as representatives of the
Inspector-General of Police and the heads of the Nigerian Security and
Civil Defence Coprs, Nigerian Prisons Service, State Security Service
and the Federal Road Safety Commission as members.
