The attention of the Head of the Local Government Service has been drawn to a publication being circulated on social media and other online portals that “the Local Government Service (LGS) is inviting applications from suitably qualified Ghanaians for 2020/2021 job recruitment“.
The Office of the Head of Local Government Service wishes to inform the general public that, the LGS is not the author of the said information and urges all to disregard it. The Service has just concluded a process recruiting ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH OFFICERS / ASSISTANTS – SCHOOL OF HYGIENE as additional staff, as such it has not issued fresh recruitment adverts.
The Service wishes to assure the general public that when such opportunities turn up, due processes and procedures will be followed and the general public will be informed through the appropriate channels.
