The Nigerian government, today, announced it has canceled a recruitment exercise that killed over 20 applicants at job screening centers across Nigeria.
The announcement was made by Nigeria’s minister of information, Labaran Maku who told reporters after the weekly Federal Executive Council that a panel has been set up to conduct another recruitment exercise.
