Oyo State Government has commenced the conduct of a Civil Service Bio-Data Verification Screening exercise on its workforce in the state.
Explaining the reasons for the exercise in Ibadan, Wednesday, Head of Service, Mr Soji Eniade, said exercise, which commenced, Monday, and which witnessed the screening of many categories of workers, was to ascertain the actual number of the workforce.
“This type of exercise is common in every organisation because it is a way of having the bio-data of all workers,” he stated, adding: “There is nothing new about the exercise since it is an in-house thing.’’
Meanwhile, the Oyo State Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) is yet to react to the development.
