It was a chaotic scene
Thursday, December 19, 2019, at the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency
(NDLEA) recruitment aptitude test across the country.
Reports from various
centres spoke of confusion as hordes of shortlisted applicants turned up to
write the test, only to find out that it was not well-organised.
A 48-second video clip
recorded and uploaded byDaily Trustnewspaper showed
desperate jobseekers scaling walls and jumping through windows to get into the
examination hall in Kano.
Similarly, photos by
Channels Television showed rowdy scenes at an examintion centre in Abuja, the
nation’s capital, which, in the words of the station, “showed a lack of
organisation and sanity”.
“The scenes bring to
memory the shoddy preparations that led to the 2014 Nigeria Immigration
recruitment tragedy,” according to the station.
