The Edo State government will from Monday, December 14, 2020, commence recruitment of over 1,400 professionals into the junior, graduate and experienced cadres of the state’s civil service.
The state head of service, Anthony Okungbowa in a statement, said the recruitment exercise was part of the ongoing transformation of the state’s civil service and a key pillar in Governor Godwin Obaseki’s quest towards making Edo great again.
“The recruitment is seeking to bring over 1,400 talented professionals into the service at the junior, graduate and experience categories across several disciplines of the service.
This recruitment exercise is part of the ongoing transformation exercise in the state and one of the pillars of making Edo great again. The recruitment is of major priority to the governor and in line with his values.”

“The exercise shall be free, fair, and merit-driven. We are an equal opportunity employer and each applicant shall stand the same chance of gaining employment with the State civil service,” he assured.
Governor Obaseki had during his second term inauguration promised that one of the major assignments he was going to embark on was a total transformation of the state’s civil and public service.
The governor recently approved the recruitment of professionals into the state’s civil service in line with that vision of repositioning the civil service for optimal performance.
While training has continued for workers in the state’s civil service at the John Odigie- Oyegun Training Academy, Governor Obaseki has earmarked N6.1 billion to inject requisite skill into the state’s civil service to ensure efficiency, productivity and drive sustainable development.
