Government must take immediate and comprehensive\u00a0measures to ensure that there is no repeat of such a disastrous recruitment exercise in Nigeria and we also ask that the Government refunds all the payments made by all the candidates. The Federal Government must also pay heavy compensation of not less than N10 million to\u00a0the families of each of the dead because their deaths were occasioned by the total official dereliction of function committed by officials of the Nigerian State&#8221;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following the unfortunate death of over twenty job seekers out of the over 6 million candidates who were forced to part with N1000 entry fee for the only little over&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21410,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24311","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>HURIWA Calls For Sack, Arrest And Prosecution Of Interior Minister;
