Hardship: Abiodun orders refund of recruitment fees to applicants

Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has directed the chairman of the state civil service commission to refund all administrative fees currently being charged in relation to the ongoing recruitment into the state’s civil service.

The Secretary to the State Government, Mr Tokunbo Talabi, made this known in a statement issued on Thursday in Abeokuta, the state capital.

The governor directed the Civil Service Commission to refund all administrative fees, even though these are standard and historical fees that have been in place for decades.

“These fees are charged by the Civil Service Commission on behalf of third-party independent examiners who administer and supervise the Computer Based Test (CBT),” the government said.
