02 Oct Oyo Gov’t To Recruit 791 Officers Into State Civil Service
The Oyo State Government has approved the recruitment process of about Seven hundred and Ninety-one (791) officers of various cadres into the mainstream of its civil service.
The Chairman, Oyo State Civil Service Commission, Alh. Kamoru Aderibigbe made this known in a statement issued on Wednesday in Ibadan.
The Chairman said the recruitment will encompass the absorption of two hundred and thirty Education Officers, and five hundred and sixty-one officers into the mainstream.
According to him, “This recruitment will be the highest into the mainstream of the Civil Service in the last two decades. I believe we could have had more, but, for the fact that the Governor has constantly approved the conversion of officers who were employed into the lower cadres in the Civil Service by the previous administration, but possessed higher educational qualifications. In addition, those who academically improved themselves by having additional qualifications from Tertiary Institutions with the approval of the State Government also benefited from about One Thousand and five hundred workers converted on the Governor’s magnanimity since the beginning of this administration and more are still being converted as we are here”.
He noted that the recruitment exercise will be for those who excel in thirty five teaching subjects in the Ministry of Education controlled schools and about forty-five (45) various cadres in the core Civil Service.
Aderibigbe said to ensure due diligence, fairness and equity in the recruitment process, prospective applicants will be required to log into the State Government job portal www.jobportal.oyostate.gov.ng as from Monday, 7th October, 2024 to Friday, 11th October, 2024
Meanwhile, applicants into cadres requiring a degree must be University graduates with a minimum of second class (Hons.) lower division while applicants into cadres that require Higher National Diploma (HND) certificate must be Polytechnic graduates with a minimum of lower credit.
He said the Commission will ensure competence in the discharge of its duties without any political interference.
“All University and Polytechnic graduates must possess NYSC discharged certificates or exemption certificates as at the time of this recruitment process. Applicants into cadres requiring the Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE) must be graduates with a minimum of merit.”
He said the Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde has scored another goal by approving the recruitment process, for teeming youths in the State.
Mr. Aderibigbe appreciated the harmonious working relationships with the Office of the Head of Service, the Ministry of Establishment and Training, Office of the Special Adviser to the Governor on Labour Matters as well as the various Labour Unions affiliated to the Nigeria Labour Congress/Trade Union Congress Oyo State Chapter.
Speaking earlier, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Information and Orientation, Dr. Taiwo Ladipo reiterated the Oyo State Government’s commitment to ensure merit in the recruitment process.
