The body known and referred to as the Ogun State Local Government Service Board was created via the Ogun State Local Government Edit No. 9 of 1976. The Board is a decision/policy making and policy execution bodies. The chairman, commissioners and the permanent secretary form the policy/decision making body while the policy/decision execution body is the career officials who have an order of relationship as clearly and distinctly outlined on the organogram of the commission. In November 1978, the name was changed to Ogun State Local Government Service Commission due to increased responsibilities and evaluated status. This was contained in the Ogun State of Nigerian Gazette No 46, Vol.3 of November 9, 1978.
