Death from NIS stampede “unfortunate” , says Tambuwal

The Speaker, House of Representatives,
Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal, has described as
“unfortunate’’ the death of some Nigerians on
Saturday at recruitment centres of the Nigeria
Immigration Service (NIS).
This is contained in a statement issued by his
Special Adviser on Media and Public Affairs, Malam
Imam Imam on Sunday in Abuja.
Some applicants died at some of the recruitment
centres as a result of stampede.
According to the speaker, the death of the innocent
youths was sorrowful and regrettable.
He said it was more regrettable considering the fact
that they were at the screening centres in search of
jobs that would better their lots and that of their
loved ones.
Tambuwal urged the authorities concerned to
investigate the remote and immediate causes of the
tragedy, and advised them to map out strategies to
prevent future occurrence.
He urged governments at all levels to work closely
with the Organised Private Sector to tackle the
unemployment problem facing the nation.
The speaker condoled with the families of those
who lost their loved ones, and prayed for quick
recovery of injured ones.
