The Oyo State Local Government Service Commission has denied reports circulating online and offline that it is currently carrying out a recruitment exercise.
In a statement released in Ibadan, the Chairman of the Commission, Bashorun Akinwale Solomon Akinwole, described the recruitment claims as “false, misleading, and the handiwork of fraudsters.”
He stressed that the conversion of ad-hoc staff to permanent workers had been concluded a long time ago and warned the public to ignore any social media adverts, phone calls, or purported appointment letters issued in the Commission’s 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 further emphasized that it would never request any form of payment from applicants at any stage of a recruitment process. It urged citizens to be cautious and remain vigilant against scammers attempting to exploit job seekers.
The public was advised to rely solely on authentic government platforms for accurate and credible information on recruitment to avoid falling victim to fraudulent schemes.
