The Comptroller-General of the NIS, Mr. David Parradang has told the committee members
that he was sidelined by the Minister throughout the recruitment exercise and
that he got wind of the exercise through a
newspaper advertorial. He made this disclosure yesterday when he appeared before the Senate Committee on Interior
Matters Panel instituted by the senate to investigate circumstances that led to
the ill-fated exercise.
He said only N45million was released to the NIS for
provision of test materials as against the the N201million released to the
consulting firm, Drexel Technical Nigeria Limited. He said this caused a lot of
logistic problems on the day of the test.
Some of the Commanders of the NIS who headed the test in
some other states said asides the serious logistic problems, influx of those
who were not supposed to write the exam was also responsible for the stampede
experienced on that day..
