Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has directed the chairman of the state civil service commission to refund all administrative fees currently being charged in relation to the ongoing recruitment into the state’s civil service.
The Secretary to the State Government, Mr. Tokunbo Talabi, made this known in a statement issued on Thursday in Abeokuta, the state capital.
The governor directed the Civil Service Commission to refund all administrative fees, even though 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.
The government acknowledged the current economic situation in the country and took into consideration the ultimate aim of the recruitment exercise.
“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.
The refund is seen as a move to ease the burden on applicants amid the current economic hardship in the country.
