DEATH BY INCOMPETENCE

The incompetence and ineptitude of the leadership of the Nigeria Immigration Service is mind-boggling! Where in the world do you invite hundreds of thousands of applicants to contest for 5,000 vacancies?! Why were applications not evaluated and a short-list of say 10,000 persons made? Why were the written tests not organised in several locations across the country with no more than 500 people per examination centre? Could an on-line test not have been done? 

And to compound matters, the Minister of Internal Affairs, Mr. Abba Moro, displayed gross insensitivity and nonchalance by attempting to rationalise the stampedes at the examination centres and even blaming the candidates for the tragedy!

There must be consequences for those whose inefficiency and incompetence led to the avoidable deaths. The President should mandate a thorough investigation and those found culpable should be sanctioned. 

Meanwhile, it is untenable for the Minister of Internal Affairs and the Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Immigration Service to continue in office. They should resign immediately or be duly sacked. 

We are much better than this. 

God bless Nigeria.

Nigeria di fure!
