NIS Exam: Applicants Head to Court, Demand Refund from Ministry

Four persons among applicants who took part in last Saturday’s Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) recruitment examination have filed a suit against the federal government, seeking among other things a refund of application fees.
 

The applicants, Mr Charles Ugwuonye, Mr Friday Danlami, Mr Chinedu Onwuka, and Mr Samson Ojo, are also asking the court to declare that the conduct of the recruitment exercise was illegal, unwarranted, and in violation of their fundamental human right to life.

The plaintiffs are also praying the court to declare that the respondents, particularly the Minister of Interior, Mr Abba Moro, and the Comptroller General of NIS, Mr David Parradang, have a duty to conduct the recruitment exercise in a safe manner.

Also joined as respondents in the suit are the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr Bello Adoke.
