Osun Govt. Denies Mass Civil Service Recruitment
The Osun State Government has stated that there is nothing like recruitment into the state’s civil service.
Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Kolapo Alimi disclosed this on Friday in a statement made by the government.
This is as it also reminded members of the public that the sale of forms by the Osun State Civil Service Commission is a normal official routine.
According to the Osun government, the information on mass recruitment was wrongly assumed as the state government only approved the recruitment of 500 new teachers and 250 education officers.
It also urged the general public and employment seekers not to misconstrue the mass recruitment of teachers as one into the state’s civil service.
The statement reads, “The sales of forms by the Osun State Civil Service Commission, it must be emphasized, is a normal official routine.
“Members of the public, particularly employment seekers, should not, in any way, misconstrue it to be a scheme by the Ademola Adeleke-led administration for mass recruitment into the state civil service.
“We advise those, who by now, must have collected the forms, to keep their jealousy in their possession pending when an official approval for mass recruitment exercise may be officially unfolded to the public.
“Again, the Government wishes to reiterate that the only approved recruitment drive currently going on in Osun State is the sale and issuance of forms for the engagement of an additional 5000 teachers and 250 education officers.
“The aim, which is in accordance with the recent approval granted by the Osun State Executive Council, is to fill the existing vacancies in the state’s teaching service to strengthen the hitherto moribund education sector.
“Therefore, If the Government wishes to embark on a general mass recruitment exercise into the Civil Service, an official announcement, via officially designated media channels, would be released to the public,”
