OGSG Disowns Invitations on Screening of Next-of-Kin of Deceased Pensioners

 


The Ogun State government has described as false and misleading a notice attributed to the Bureau of State Pension inviting the next-of-kin of deceased pensioners to undergo a screening process.


A statement by the Permanent Secretary in the Bureau, Mrs. Arinola Adetayo, stated that the notice, purportedly issued by an unnamed individual, was not authorized by the government.


Mrs. Adetayo noted that the state government had established a clear official procedure for processing pension claims and disbursing benefits to the next-of-kin of deceased pensioners, adding that the process did not require any forms of screening by unknown individuals or third parties.


“The notice circulating on social media does not originate from any government office, department, or Bureau of State Pensions personnel. The Bureau is not in any way associated with, nor endorses the request made in the notices.


"Any request for screening of next-of-kin by individuals or entities not officially recognized by the state government is fraudulent and should be disregarded.


"We strongly advise that no personal information or documents should be shared in response to any unauthorized invitations or requests," she said.


She advised that anyone who had received the notice should contact the Bureau Office at Block A, Ogun State Government Secretariat, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.
