The Lagos State Government has commenced the recruitment of clinical personnel into its 29 secondary healthcare facilities to strengthen healthcare delivery and address workforce shortages across the state.
The Lagos State Health Service Commission announced the exercise in a statement on Monday, saying Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu approved the recruitment to fill existing vacancies in government-owned general hospitals.
According to the commission, the initiative aligns with the administration’s THEMES Agenda and is aimed at improving access to quality healthcare while mitigating the effects of brain drain in the health sector.
Vacancies are available for consultants in various medical specialties, senior registrars, medical officers, dental officers, pharmacists, physiotherapists, medical laboratory scientists, optometrists, radiographers, nursing officers, clinical psychologists and health assistants.
The commission said interested applicants are required to submit their applications online through the Health Service Commission’s recruitment portal.
The application process opened on Monday, July 13, 2026, and will close on Friday, July 24, 2026.
It added that only shortlisted candidates would be invited for a computer-based test and interview as part of the selection process.
The commission also cautioned prospective applicants against paying money to anyone, stressing that the recruitment exercise is entirely free and warning that anyone demanding payment is acting fraudulently.
Qualified candidates are encouraged to apply before the closing date.
