Abuja Job Interviews: Invited, Waited Hours, Then Sent Home—Why?

Hello everyone, I’ve noticed a frustrating pattern in Abuja job interviews and wonder if others have too. In the past month I applied for Administrative Assistant roles at three different organizations. Each time I got an online invitation, travelled in full business attire, waited hours, and was sent home without a word. They asked me to bring printed CVs, pay for transport, and dress up. But at the end, only other candidates were called forward. I never got a chance to speak or answer any questions. Has anyone else experienced this? Why would employers invite qualified applicants only to turn them away on arrival?
