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.
