No fewer than 240 Officers in the Ogun State Civil Service seeking upgrading and career progression in the State have been interviewed for promotion into Officer’s cadre in their various fields.

          The Chairman, State Civil Service Commission, Engr. Tokunbo Odebunmi, made this known during a chat with journalists after monitoring the interview exercise, at the Commission's conference hall, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.

          Odebunmi said the exercise would elevate officers who had added additional certificates to their previous qualifications, to empower them more in the discharge of their duties, as well as to enable them to reach the peak of their careers in Civil Service.

          "Some of the Civil Servants are junior staffers who have acquired additional certificates on the job, and have sought permission to further their studies for more productive service to the State", Engr. Odebunmi.

          He said only 240 were found worthy out of over 400 who had applied and written the upgrading exam, adding that the number was certified to have attended the extended interview to ensure that their additional qualifications are put into productive use.
