The Osun government has dismissed reports of alleged recruitment into the state civil service as false and misleading.
Malam Olawale Rasheed, the spokesperson for Governor Ademola Adeleke, stated this in an Osogbo statement on Friday.
He stated that the state was not hiring for any civil service positions.
Rasheed urged the public to disregard the information. He added that they should report any attempt to defraud them using the state government’s name to the appropriate authorities.
“The Osun Government wishes to inform the general public that it is not currently recruiting for any position in the state Civil Service Commission.
“Any information circulating on social media or other platforms about recruitment by the Osun Government is false and misleading.
“On the issue of sale of forms by the Civil Service Commission, the public should be reminded that collection of employment forms is a normal routine with all civil service Commission.
“Such normal activity is however not an indication that the state government has started recruitment exercise,” he said.
“Members of the public are hereby advised to disregard such information. And report any attempt to defraud them using the name of the Osun State Government to the appropriate authorities.
“Announcements will be made via official government channels anytime the government is ready to start recruitment of staff.”
