A release signed by the Permanent Secretary, Civil Service Commission, Mr. Adedayo Somoye, stated that the process is to address the shortage of staff in some cadres within the civil service, having obtained higher academic qualifications through their personal self-development efforts and have merited the entire process.
Somoye, according the Press Officer, Ogun State Civil Service Commission, Mrs. Fatimah Alatishe, also revealed that those who participated in the previous upgrading examination but were not successful were given the opportunity to re-sit in order to enjoy career progression in the available vacant posts.
