Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has approved the conversion of 654 officers across various cadres in the state’s Ministries, Departments, and Agencies, reaffirming his administration’s commitment to workers’ welfare.

In a statement, the Chairman of the Oyo State Civil Service Commission, Kamoru Aderibigbe, explained that the beneficiaries are officers in sub-officer cadres, from junior to senior levels, who have improved their qualifications by acquiring relevant and approved courses from recognised tertiary institutions.

Aderibigbe noted that the approval would not only enhance the remuneration of the affected officers but also create opportunities for them to attain the peak of their careers within the civil service.

He urged the beneficiaries to see the gesture as a special privilege and to reciprocate it with greater dedication, diligence, and commitment to their duties.

The commission chairman also expressed appreciation to Governor Makinde, describing the approval as an unprecedented end-of-year goodwill gesture to workers in Oyo State. (The Nation)
