“The ongoing recruitment exercise into Nigeria Immigration Service is commendable , youth from the grassroots who in the past can not dream of having opportunities in the service were now at the verge of becoming cadets into the Immigration Service without any sentiment.

“Yakmut has brought a lot of innovative ideas and transformation to the board. We all knows what happened in the past where the board was bedeviled with crises as a result of job racketeering, but under the leadership of the current Secretary of the board the trend has changed for better as youth from the grassroots who don’t have godfathers benefited from every recruitment conducted by the board.
