The Engineer ‘Seyi Makinde-led government in Oyo State on Friday said it was not recruiting medical personnel into the civil service, noting that announcement would be made via official government channels anytime it wanted to start recruitment.

A statement by the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Prince ‘Dotun Oyelade, described the information circulating on social media that the state was recruiting medical personnel, as false and misleading.

 

The statement reads:

 

“It has come to the attention of the State Government that some unscrupulous elements are peddling false information on purported sales of application forms for employment of Medical Personnel into the State service.

 

“The Oyo State Government hereby wishes to categorically state that there are currently no sales of such forms as the process for eventual recruitment is still ongoing.

 

“This is to implore the general public to disregard the false information on ongoing recruitment of the Medical Personnel.

 

“Adequate information will be given to the public once present arrangements are concluded on the recruitment process.

 

“In the event of need for clarification, the Public hereby advised to visit the Office of the Permanent Secretary, State Hospitals’ Management Board or telephone numbers 07034776164 or 08037179610”.
