Gov Adeleke Flags Off  Staff Audit, Verification Exercise In Osogbo, Discloses Plans To Fill Vacancies

Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun state has flagged off staff audit and verification exercise in the state civil service while disclosing plans to fill existing vacancies in the education, health and other sub-sectors in the state.

The governor’s spokesman, Mr. Olawale Rasheed noted in a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com that the exercise was flagged off at the Governor’s office on Friday with  biometric capturing done for  the governor, his deputy and the Speaker of the state House of Assembly.

The  statement added that  the governor had earlier met with labour union leaders in the state behind closed doors during which processes and procedures were firmed up to ensure protection and fulfillment of the interest of all the stakeholders.

Governor Adeleke, who restated that the exercise ‘is not a witch-hunt’,  assured the state workforce that the audit will strengthen the capacity of the state government to satisfy the needs of the workers, members of the public and the state leadership.

‘I want to assure workers and other stakeholders that the staff audit exercise is not a witch-hunt. Our administration has  welfare  of workers as number one on our governance agenda. So , we will not take any action that will negatively affect formal and informal workers.

The audit is to achieve several goals namely; cleaning up the payroll system, validating the actual number of state workforce and establishing areas of vacancies across various sectors of the public service. We need to authenticate the data of our workforce.

We also need to confirm existing vacancies within the public service. I have earlier issued a directive for the collation of vacancies for teachers and health workers. The compilation is almost completed. The outcome will then provide what we call data- driven management of our public service.

We are ascertaining the number of teachers we need in our schools. Our team is checking out the number of science, English, mathematics, social science and other teachers as well as which schools need what type of teachers.

I assure the public that we are aware of the existing vacancies at our schools and health facilities. The audit report will provide a strong foundation for the recruitment of new teachers and health workers which our administration will embark upon after the ongoing exercise’ the governor said-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
