The embattled Minister of the Interior, Mr. Abba Moro, on Thursday, apologised to Nigerians over the circumstances that led to the death of 16 people during the March 15 ill-fated recruitment exercise into the Nigerian Immigration Service.
He accepted responsibility for the tragedy which he said could have been averted if the exercise had been attended by only those that registered online for it.
The minister stated this when he appeared before the Atiku Bagudu-led Senate Committee on Interior probing the fatal exercise.
Before he spoke, the Comptroller-General of the NIS, Mr. David Parradang and the Secretary of the Civil Defence, Fire, Immigration and Prisons Services Board, Mr. Sylvanus, Tapgun, had told the committee that they were not properly carried along by the ministry in the planning of the exercise.
Although Parradang said that no money was made available by the Interior Ministry to the NIS for the screening of the 710,000 applicants, Tapgun said that only about N45m was provided as ‘discretionary contribution’ for the screening by the consultant, Drexel Technical Nigeria Limited.
Moro, who appeared last before the committee, however, said that adequate arrangements were made by the Interior ministry, the Civil Defence, Fire, Immigration and Prisons Services Board and the NIS to conduct a credible electronic recruitment into the Immigration service.
According to him, all the efforts were to save the NIS from the negative image of job racketeering which had plagued it over the years.
…Rubbish, you came to save but ended up killing!
