Governor Abiodun has ordered the Civil Service Commission to return all administrative fees, which have traditionally been charged 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 statement noted.
Acknowledging the current economic challenges, the government emphasized that the recruitment exercise’s ultimate goal is to reduce citizen suffering and create jobs. “This necessitates the directives to immediately refund fees paid along with a waiver for any new applications,” the statement added.
