About 2,000 personnel of the Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS, who were suspended by the Buhari administration staged a protest in front of the interior ministry on Tuesday, June 14, 2016 in Abuja, Daily Trust reports.
President Muhammadu Buhari ordered the suspension of their recruitment process after assuming office in May 2015.
As at the time of their suspension, the young officials were almost passing out of their training exercise and were awaiting deployment.
The 2,000 personnel were employed through a credible process following the tragedy that marred the 2014 recruitment exercise where many applicants died and many more sustained injuries.
The affected officers had petitioned the National Assembly over the predicament.
The House of Representative had in April 2015 ordered their immediate re-employment but almost two months after the federal government is yet to respond to legislative arm of the Nigerian government.
