Oyo LG Service Commission debunks fake recruitment exercise
By Adejayan Gbenga –
The Oyo State Local Government Service Commission has dismissed claims circulating online and offline that it is currently conducting a recruitment exercise.
In a statement issued in Ibadan by its Chairman, Bashorun Akinwale Solomon Akinwole, the Commission described the reports as “false, misleading, and the handiwork of fraudsters.”
It clarified that the conversion of ad-hoc staff to permanent workers had been concluded long ago and warned the public to disregard any social media adverts, calls for applications, or purported appointment letters issued in its name.
“For the avoidance of doubt, all official recruitment announcements will be made only through verified channels, including the Oyo State Government website, national newspapers, and accredited broadcast media outlets,” the statement read.
The Commission emphasized that it would never demand payment from applicants at any stage of a recruitment process and urged citizens to remain vigilant against scammers.
Reaffirming its commitment to fairness and transparency, the Commission advised the public to rely strictly on authentic government platforms for accurate information.
