Gov. Abiodun approves upgrade of 230 workers

The Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has approved the release of letters to over 230 successful serving officers who sat for the 2021 and 2022 upgrading examinations.

They were also successful in extended interviews into higher cadres from the various Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) in the service.

The Chairman, Civil Service Commission, Engr. Tokunbo Odebunmi disclosed this in a statement issued in Abeokuta.

He said that the successful candidates were officers who had obtained higher academic qualifications through self-development and sailed through the entire process of upgrading.

Engr. Odebunmi further revealed that those candidates who passed the three stages of the upgrading process and were categorised into both professional and sub-professional cadres based on their certification would have the opportunity to utilise their potential to improve the civil service.

The Commission’s Chairman emphasised that the purpose of the upgrade was aimed at gearing up workers in the service to develop themselves in their relevant fields for effective service delivery.

He added that this would go a long way in ensuring progress in their chosen careers.

He, therefore, urged concerned officers to reciprocate the Governor’s kind gesture through more dedication to duty and improvement in productivity.

Odebunmi noted that the present administration will leave no stone unturned to improve workers’ productivity and development in critical areas of need.
