Mr Chukwuemeka Obua, the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) said on Monday in Abuja that victims of the botched March 15 recruitment would be employed after a fresh exercise.
On March 15, the service had conducted a nationwide recruitment that claimed the lives of some applicants while several others were injured due to a stampede in some centres.
Sen. Anyim Pius Anyim, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, during that time had also anounced the setting up of a committee to assist the Paramilitary Board in conducting a fresh exercise.
Obua said that although the date for the fresh exercise was yet to be fixed, the committee which had Mr David Parradang, the Comptroller-General of the Service as member, was working tirelessly to ensure a hitch free exercise.
``The committee is more transparent and is currently working out modalities for a fresh exercise.
``I have been contacted to draft advertorials to inform suitable applicants who wish to partake in the exercise,'' he said.
He said that applicants of the botched recruitment who wished to partake in the fresh exercise must apply again as the President had cancelled the March 15 exercise.
