FG Cancels Immigration Job Screening That Killed 20 Jobseekers

The Nigerian government, today, announced it has canceled a recruitment exercise that  killed over 20 applicants at job screening centers across Nigeria.
The announcement was made by Nigeria’s minister of information, Labaran Maku who told reporters after  the weekly Federal Executive Council that a panel has been set up to conduct another recruitment exercise.
 However, the minister did not say if anyone will be punished for the criminal conduct that led to the death of innocent jobseekers last Saturday.
There has been an increased clamor for the minister in charge of the recruitment exec rise be fired.  However, Presidency source said that the minister, Abba Moro is a close ally and nominee of the Senate President, David Mark making it impossible for President Jonathan to fire him from office.
