The Bayelsa State Government in Monday gave an update on
the planned recruitment of 1,000 Nigerians into the state civil
service.
Deputy Governor, Rear Admiral John Gboriobiogha Jonah
(retd), representing Governor Dickson reiterated that the
government would adhere strictly to merit in the recruitment.
He stated this at the launch of a website for the recruitment
exercise at the State Civil Service Commission on Monday.
He said the decision to create the website was to further
demonstrate the Dickson-led administration’s resolve to give
all qualified Bayelsans equal opportunity to get a place in the
state civil service.
According to him, “The government wants to ensure there is
no room for rumour and unfounded stories over the
recruitment exercise and has made the website available so
that interested applicants can have easy access to
information.
“Bayelsa is a state of stories. We want to reduce that to the
barest minimum when everybody has equal access to the
same information. This is the main advantage of this particular
website in the management of the recruitment exercise that is
coming.”
Also speaking, Chief Kune Igoni Claudius, Commissioner in the
Civil Service Commission, on behalf of the commission,
disclosed that 23,000 Bayelsans collected the application
forms and announced that the written examination has been
fixed for August 22.
He commended Dickson for actualising the dream of the
administration in reforming the Bayelsa state civil service and
the employment of Bayelsans into various cadres.
“The launch of the website would confirm that the state
government is serious about transparency in the recruitment
exercise,” he added.
