 Ogun State Approves Promotions for 26,764 Civil and Public Servants: A Major Milestone in Workforce Development

The Ogun State Government has made a significant move in workforce development by promoting a total of 26,764 civil and public servants across various sectors. This monumental decision demonstrates the administration's strong commitment to improving the welfare and professional growth of its employees, marking a major step in enhancing the state's public service.



Wide-Ranging Promotions Across Key Sectors

Kehinde Onasanya, the Head of Service in Ogun State, announced that the approved promotions affect a broad spectrum of personnel. These include:

  • Civil service members
  • Teaching and non-teaching staff in government secondary schools
  • Primary school teachers
  • Employees working in state-owned boards, corporations, and parastatals, with a notable focus on the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital (OOUTH)

These promotions encompass junior, senior, and management cadres within Ogun State’s Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs). To ensure fairness and transparency, the promotion process will include oral interviews, evaluating the qualifications and performance of each candidate.

Governor Abiodun’s Vision for Employee Growth

This step, approved by Governor Dapo Abiodun, reflects his administration's focus on public service enhancement and employee welfare. Governor Abiodun's commitment to improving the morale and professional development of the state's workforce is in line with his "Building Our Future Together" agenda. The promotion drive also aligns with his overarching goal of fostering a well-motivated and efficient public service.

In addition to the widespread promotions, the governor has also approved the December 2024 Combined Confirmation/Promotion Tests and the mandatory Public Service Examinations for eligible employees. These initiatives are designed to help ensure that public servants meet the required standards for career advancement.








Encouraging Dedication and Service Excellence

While announcing the promotions, Kehinde Onasanya expressed gratitude for Governor Abiodun's worker-friendly policies. He encouraged all promoted civil and public servants to rededicate themselves to their duties and uphold the highest standards of service. The government hopes that this gesture will motivate employees to strive for excellence and contribute more effectively to the growth and development of Ogun State.

A Benchmark for Other States

Ogun State's promotion of over 26,000 workers sets a significant precedent in the Nigerian public sector. By investing in its workforce, the state government not only acknowledges the dedication of its employees but also strengthens the overall public service delivery system. This promotion exercise serves as a benchmark for other states, highlighting the importance of investing in human capital for sustainable development.

The Ogun State Government’s decision to promote 26,764 civil and public servants is a powerful testament to its commitment to public sector reform and employee welfare. With this milestone, the administration has ensured that a motivated and well-equipped workforce will continue to serve the people of Ogun State, driving further progress and positive change.
