Meanwhile in Lagos, thousands of job seekers who were
invited to take an aptitude test by the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS)
seized all roads leading to the National Stadium venue of the test in protest,
shortly after they were told it has been postponed. The young job seekers asked
that their N1000 processing fee be returned to them, hence they won’t be
returning back home any time soon. The protest took place for several hours with the candidates
chanting anti- government songs and blocking major roads.

Meanwhile, some people have called on the Minister of
Interior, Mr. Abba Moro that the N1000 processing fee was uncalled for, and
with about 6,000,000 candidates they will be making N6,000,000,000. But the minister explained that the N1,000 was charged by the consulting firm to defray cost of accessing the
website to fill forms.
