Youths on the Platform of the Revolutionary Council of the Nigerian People have called on the federal government to refund the N1000 registration fee paid by applicants in the unfortunate immigration job exercise that claimed about 20 lives.
The call was made by youths and other stakeholders at a rally in Abuja yesterday organized by the group.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with LEADERSHIP, a youth and unemployed graduate, Attah Hassan Khalid from Kogi State lamented that he was one of the victims of the ill fated Nigerian Immigration job recruitment tragedy where over 20 persons were feared dead. He said despite promises to revisit the issue, nothing has been done to compensate them.
He said, “My grievance now is that I and every Nigerian that participated in that ill fated exercise need that N1000. We are not happy with that kind of situation.We are graduates and not touts and wish to earn our living and if government will not provide for us, but rather take the little we have, it is most annoying.”
