The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has finally employed 888 applicants.



On Saturday March 15, 2014, about 6.5 million applicants for the immigration employments reported at various designated centers across the country for screening.



The screening was, however, overshadowed by the death of 16 persons.


Before now, the Former President Goodluck Jonathan set-up a presidential committee with a mandate to assist the Civil Defence, Fire Immigration and Prisons Service Board, (CDFIPB) in carrying out recruitment exercise to fill the vacancies in NIS.




NIS Comptroller General, (CG), Muhammed Babandede, on Friday stated that the CDFIPB issued out guidelines for a fresh screening of only 2000 applicants whose names were published in Leadership and Thisday newspapers on August 15 and 16 2016 respectively.
