| MORO |
After weeks of dillydallying and blame trading, the Minister of Interior, Abba
Moro yesterday accepted blame for the poorly conducted immigration recruitment
exercise that led to the death of 16 youths on March 15th. Mr Moro appeared
before the Senate Committee on Interior Matters Panel instituted by the senate
to investigate circumstances that led to the ill-fated exercise. While
expressing his sympathy to those that died, Moro said as with most
administrative exercises, the end result cannot be determined...
"Mr chairman and
distinguished senators, we are deeply grieved and saddened by the way events
turned out. We express our sincere regrets once again. However, permit me to
state that our patriotic desire was the pursuit of a more honest, a more
transparent, a more cost effective, a more efficient and equitable platform.
We
sincerely made appropriate and adequate preparations for a hitch -free
exercise, but as most things in administrative and human conditions, the yield
curve of expected outcome is mostly undefined .My heart goes out to the
families of those who have lost their dear loved ones. I sincerely sympathize
with those injured. I share in their grief. I share in their pains." Continue...
"May I, at this juncture,
assure you, distinguished senators and Nigerians, of my respect for the sanctity of human life. The loss of these
young Nigerians, who are needed as a critical human resource factor for nation
building is most regrettable. As the Minister of Interior, under whose purview
this unfortunate exercise took place, I cannot abdicate my responsibility. The
buck stops here.”
