‘Online N10,000 Palliatives For Civil Servants, Students A Scam’

Oyo State government has alerted the people of the state especially civil servants and students to ignore an online platform asking them to fill a purported application form to benefit from the government’s N10,000 support for them.

The Chief of Staff to the Governor and Chairman of the 15-man Sustainable Action for Economic Recovery (SAfER), Otunba Segun Ogunwuyi  who disclosed this to newsmen described the report as a scam and fake news.

Ogunwuyi said his committee was already working very hard on the governor’s relief packages in the wake of subsidy removal which necessitated approval by the Governor to deploy brand new luxury buses totalling about 46 to every nook and cranny of the state.

He said “The food palliative to 200,000 vulnerable households; 100,000 free healthcare insurance supports for our people; N500 million for deserving farmers under food security; another N500 million for SMEs amongst other palliatives are on course to mitigate the sufferings of the masses following subsidy removal.”

The chairman of SAfER, therefore warned the people of the state not to fall victim to the fake news asking them to submit their personal information online to be eligible for the purported N10,000 cash support.
