The Head of LGS has been notified of a publication circulating on social media and other online portals that “the Local Government Service (LGS) is inviting applications from suitably qualified Ghanaians to fill vacant positions in the Service in some specified Regions”.

A statement signed by Mr James Oppong-Mensah and copied to the Ghana News Agency said the LGS was not the author of the said information and urged all to disregard it.

It said that the Service was just about to conclude a process it began in February 2019 to engage two thousand two hundred and ninety (2,290) additional staff and had not initiated any fresh advertisements.

The service would notify the public when such opportunities turn up, and that due processes and procedures would be followed and information channeled through appropriate channels, the statement added.
