The Lagos State Health Service Commission has announced the commencement of recruitment exercise for medical professionals into General Hospitals across the State with the opening of a recruitment portal.

The portal Jobs.lagosstate .gov.ng is for interested applicants on Wednesday, 15th July, 2020.

According to a release issued by the Commission today, the decision to fill the vacant positions in the 27 General Hospitals across the State followed the approval granted by the State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu to increase the staff strength of medical personnel in the hospitals.

According to the Commission, “Some of the vacant positions for employment opportunities include that of Medical Consultants, Medical and Dental Officers, Pharmacists, Nursing Officers, Pharmacy Technicians, Dental Therapists and Dental Technicians”.

While noting that the recruitment portal will only be accessible for three weeks from 12 noon on Wednesday, July 15, 2020, to 12 noon on Wednesday, August 5, 2020, the Commission emphasised that it would not entertain or welcome submission of forms in its office in view of the COVID-19 protocols.

Meanwhile, the State College of Nursing, Midwifery and Public Health, Igando has commenced its first online Examination for the 100 level students of the Department of Nursing.

In a statement issued by the Provost of the College, Mrs. Oyefunso Orenuga, the online examination was adopted in view of the ravaging COVID-19 pandemic and the need to curb the spread of the disease in line with the State Government directives.

While noting that the examinations will be held consecutively for students on 100 to 300 Levels with one week interval, she commended the State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sonwa-Olu for the trust reposed in the College to conduct the virtual examination as well as the efforts of the Special Adviser to the Governor on Education, Mr. Tokunbo Wahab to ensure it was actualised.

Orenuga recalled that in line with the State Government directives in April that all Tertiary Institutions in the State should embrace e-learning platforms so that learning can continue despite school closure, the College of Nursing took up the challenge using Envivo iClass provider for the e-learning programme to conduct its Examinations online.
