Governor Abiodun directs refund of recruitment fees to applicants

The Ogun State Governor Prince Dapo Abiodun of Ogun has directed the Chairman of the Civil Service Commission to refund all administrative fees currently being charged in relation to the ongoing recruitment exercise into the state’s civil service.

Penpushing reports that the directive was contained in a statement issued by the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Tokunbo Talabi on Thursday, adding that the Governor directed the commission to refund all administrative fees, notwithstanding the fact that these are standard and historical fees that have been in place for decades.

“These fees are charged by the Civil Service Commission on behalf of third-party independent examiners who administer and supervise the Computer Based Test (CBT),” the government said in the statement.

The statement added that the government acknowledged the country’s current economic situation and said it also considered the recruitment exercise’s ultimate aim.

“The aim is to alleviate the suffering of the citizens and create employment in the state. This necessitates the directives to immediately refund fees paid along with a waiver for any new applications,” the government said.
