The Oyo State Commissioner for Establishment and Training, Adeniyi Adebisi, has warned pensioners in the state that some unscrupulous elements have been swindling them with a promise to fast-track their gratuities.
He gave the warning Friday in a statement by Prince Dotun Oyelade, Commissioner for Information and Orientation, saying the ministry is aware of some insinuations by some people to defraud pensioners awaiting gratuities.
“The general public should be wary of such to avoid falling victim to the ungodly practice perpetrated by the faceless group of people.
“Any retiree processing their gratuity should approach the ministry directly, desisting from engaging any intermediary to guide against exploitation,” the statement added.
