 I will pardon these officers on the side of imprisonment for the sake of change but would never work under any of the Federal Service again and never in the history of the NIS would such act be pardon.

 We are still waiting for the Federal Government to approve our request for a fresh recruitment on this platform of change; there are a lot of empty positions in all this effected Commands, currently replacements for some position will commerce while we still awaits the Federal Government for approval of our general recruitment proposal.
