Please, share this story:
The Oyo State government, through the Ministry of Establishments and Training, has dismissed “a misleading message circulating on social media instructing TESCOM retirees from 2015 to submit their Pension Authority Certificate at Room 85, Ministry of Establishments and Training, Secretariat.”
The state Commissioner for Establishments and Training, Prof. Salihu Adelabu, on Wednesday, said in a statement that the message did not originate from the ministry and should be ignored by all concerned retirees.
Prof. Adelabu reaffirmed that the state government, through the Ministry of Establishments and Training, was paying gratuities according to an approved schedule and following due process.
He emphasised that no TESCOM retiree was required to submit any Certificate of Authority at the said office, and that no additional documentation, outside the official procedures, had been announced.
The commissioner also warned retirees not to allow anyone to extort or deceive them with claims of helping to “fast-track” gratuity processing.
He stressed that no payment was required for the processing of gratuity entitlements, urging retirees to report any suspicious activities to the appropriate authorities.
Prof. Adelabu also said the state government remained steadfast in its commitment to transparency, accountability, and the welfare of all retirees in the state.
