The Oyo State Government has approved the recruitment process for approximately 791 officers from various cadres into the mainstream of the civil service.
Alhaji Kamoru Aderibigbe, Chairman of the Oyo State Civil Service Commission, confirmed this in a statement issued in Ibadan on Wednesday.
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 will be the largest recruitment into the mainstream of the Civil Service in the last two decades. I believe we could have had more, but the Governor has consistently approved the conversion of officers who were employed in lower cadres of the Civil Service by the previous administration but had 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 stated that the recruitment exercise will be for those who excel in thirty-five teaching subjects in Ministry of Education-controlled schools and approximately forty-five (45) different cadres in the core Civil Service.
According to Aderibigbe, prospective applicants will be required to log into the State Government job portal jobportal.oyostate.gov.ng from Monday, October 7, 2024 to Friday, October 11, 2024, to ensure due diligence, fairness, and equity in the hiring process.
