The Federal Government may not refund the N1,000 application
fee that was paid by each of the 693,000 applicants that participated
in the Nigerian Immigration Service recruitment on March 15.
The FG had on Wednesday cancelled the recruitment exercise,
which claimed 18 applicants’ lives.
The Public Relations Officer of the NIS, Mr. Emeka Obua, told
SUNDAY PUNCH on Saturday that the service had not
received any directive on the refund of the money.
He said such a directive would come from the Federal
Government to the Minister of Interior, Mr. Abba Moro.
Also, the Ministry of Interior said no directive had been given to it
from any quarters to refund the money to applicants.
The Special Assistant to the Minister on Media, Mr. George
Ubong, in a telephone interview with one of our correspondents,
said no such directive had been received in the ministry.
“We have not received any directive to refund any money,” he
stated.
Should we believe the FG or the Minister now?
