The Ogun State Civil Service Commission has urged newly confirmed junior officers to demonstrate greater efficiency, diligence and commitment to duty. This call was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Commission, Mr Jola Oyeneye, while addressing the officers at the Commission’s Conference Room, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta. The officers were confirmed during the 2026 confirmation exercise across various cadres.

According to Mr Oyeneye, the confirmation is an important opportunity for the officers to contribute meaningfully to the growth and development of the Ogun State Public Service. He urged them not to take the opportunity for granted and to distinguish themselves through hard work, discipline and dedication. Effective recruitment and proper placement of personnel are essential to achieving optimal performance in the public service, he noted.

Mr Oyeneye emphasized that inefficiency among workers could undermine productivity and impede effective service delivery. He therefore urged the newly confirmed officers to give their best, uphold the ethics of the civil service and justify the confidence reposed in them. The officers had qualified for confirmation after successfully completing their probationary period.

The Director of Administration and Supplies, Mrs Adebola Oriowo, described the exercise as an important milestone in the careers of the newly confirmed officers. This milestone marks their transition into fully established members of the Ogun State Civil Service. Oriowo urged them to embrace the responsibilities associated with their new status and remain committed to the effective discharge of their duties.

Speaking on behalf of the newly confirmed officers, Miss Abimbola Ayinde commended Governor Dapo Abiodun for providing them with employment opportunities to improve their livelihoods. She expressed appreciation for the opportunity to become members of the state workforce and pledged their commitment to discharging their responsibilities diligently.

The confirmation exercise is a significant development in the Ogun State Public Service. The newly confirmed officers will play a crucial role in enhancing productivity and improving service delivery in the state. The Commission’s emphasis on efficiency, diligence and commitment to duty reflects its efforts to optimize performance in the public service.
