The Federal Government has given
automatic employment to 105 candidates and
relatives of the botched 2014 Nigeria Immigration
Service (NIS) recruitment as compensation for those
that died and sustained injuries during the exercise.
This is contained in a statement signed by Mr
Bassey Akpanyung, Permanent Secretary, Ministry
of Interior and made available to newsmen on
Monday in Abuja.
The statement said that after due verification,
employment was given to three family members of
each deceased applicant from the aborted exercise,
of which fifteen families were identified, and a total
of 45 family members selected.
It said that 60 others who were injured in the
exercise were also given employment after
verification by relevant government agencies.
"After verification, 15 families were identified, and
a total of 45 family members selected from the
deceased families.
"Similarly, approval was given for those who were
injured in the same exercise to be employed.
"After due verification by relevant agencies of
government, 60 of those affected were considered

The statement said that the two categories of
beneficiaries are now undergoing training at
various camps of the NIS in compliance with the
