About 60,000 applicants turned up for the National Drug and Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) aptitude test in Lagos which held in the main bowl of the National Stadium on Saturday and Sunday.

The test was also held simultaneously in all states of the federation and Abuja. 60,000 applicants in Lagos amounts to 90 million. And a safe assumption is that at least another 60,000 wrote the test in the rest of the states in Nigeria and Abuja.
Thus the whole exercise grossed not less than 180,000,000 naira for NDLEA.

This is sickening. For a government agency with all its allocations that should cover for logistics such as this to extort from poor job seeking Nigerians is sickening. If it were elsewhere NDLEA would have been submerged in law suits till they return the monies to these young people with apologies.

Imagine if every private and public sector firm starts to follow in their footsteps. The labour market will become one huge extortion market.

And some disoriented people are busy giving reasons to justify the insensitivity of NDLEA heads in this issue.

How much was the actual fee paid by individuals for the exam?

1,500 each

i paid 1500 also.

Oh Lawd!!!!
hw can u pay 2 write an aptitude test for job?

My twin brother wrote that stupid exam in Lagos and concluded the whole exercise was designed to make money off the participants. That of portharcourt was fill'd up to the bream. . .I just hope other agencies do not follow their examples and develope their own Ponzi schemes too. . .

I am mobilising to sue those rogues. W can't keep complaining here in this country

I keep saying it over and over again. Our government and its operational agencies are completely out of touch with reality. Just imagine this.

The rest are following suit. Police, the armed force, NPA etc. you need to cough out money to work with them. I say no to this daylight robbery.

If you need a job you must get creative or else. There is a way you can do this and not follow the crowd. Imagine over 100,000 applicants. How many do you think they are actually taking.

a word is enough for the wise, save your money.

FRAUD!!!!

someone should sue their árses and make them refund all candidates who paid to attend the test

Idiot before you start mobilising to sue the team, go and dream of how many yes left for your children thats if you have any would be a man. YOU TALKING as if you dont Know that body is Headed by an Igbo Man. Only igbos eat civilians money such way.

Just how many spots are these 120,000+ candidates jostling for?

I am still trying to believe this story and wrap my head around the fact that citizens PAID, to do a test for a job.A government job? Refunds are in order and the boss of the NDLEA should be fired!This is a terrible SHAME.It should not be overlooked.
