The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has warned Nigerians against increasing fake recruitment activities carried out by fraudsters.

In a statement on Wednesday, the NIS said all its recruitment exercises are conducted in a transparent, free and merit-based manner.

It said the vacancies are advertised through the NIS website, official government channels and recognised national newspapers.

”The NIS is working closely with relevant authorities to apprehend those involved in these fraudulent activities and bring them to justice,“ the statement reads.

”The Service remains committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity and professionalism in all its operations.

”Consequently, the Comptroller General urges the general public to remain vigilant and refrain from using fraudulent recruitment schemes.

”Anyone who receives unsolicited messages or is approached by individuals claiming to represent the NIS on recruitment matters should report to the Nigeria Immigration Service through the following official channels: Official Website: www.immigration.gov.ng; X: @nigimmigration; Instagram: @nigimmigration; Facebook: @nigimmigration; Contact Center number: 09121900655, 09121556359, 09121477092.”

Tinubu’s planned cabinet reshuffle won’t make any difference, says Buba Galadima

Buba Galadima, a chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), says President Bola Tinubu‘s planned cabinet reshuffle would not make any difference.

On September 25, Bayo Onanuga, special adviser to the president on information and strategy, said Tinubu “has expressed his desire to reshuffle his cabinet and he will do it”.

Speaking on Politics Today, a programme on Channels TV on Friday, Galadima said reshuffling the cabinet would not curb food inflation.

Galadima claimed that the president intends to reward his cronies with the reshuffle.

“That (planned cabinet reshuffle) has nothing to do with me or any Nigerian. What is of importance to all of us is bringing down the harsh conditions of living and the buck stops only on the table of one man. That is President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” Galadima said.

“No amount of reshuffling can make a difference. As far as that team is only ‘job for the boys,’ nothing will come out of it.

“Anybody that calls himself president or governor is responsible for their cabinet’s performance. He should be told that some of his appointees are more interested in their pockets than service delivery.

“I expected him to do better than this; and to hit the ground running.”

The NNPP chieftain asked Tinubu to find a solution to the country’s foreign exchange crisis “which has seen the naira performing abysmally”.

There have been growing calls from Nigerians and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Tinubu to reshuffle his cabinet and remove underperforming ministers.

Tinubu’s policies have driven petrol prices to record highs and depreciated the naira to record lows since he assumed the reins on May 29, 2023.
