The Oyo State Government, through the Ministry of
Establishments and Training, has dismissed misleading message circulating on social media instructing TESCOM retirees from the year 2015 to submit their Pension Authority Certificate at Room 85, Ministry of Establishments and Training, Secretariat.
The Commissioner for Establishments and Training, Prof. Salihu Adelabu,on Tuesday stated that the message did not originate from the Ministry and should be entirely ignored by all concerned retirees.
Prof. Adelabu reaffirmed that the state government, through the Ministry of Establishments and Training, is paying gratuities according to an approved schedule and following due process.
He emphasized that no TESCOM retiree is required to submit any Certificate of Authority at the said office, and no additional documentation outside the official procedures has 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 is required for the processing of gratuity entitlements, urging retirees to report any suspicious activities to the appropriate authorities.
Prof. Adelabu also said the Oyo State Government remains steadfast in its commitment to transparency, accountability, and the welfare of all retirees in the state.
