The Osun State Government has alerted members of the public to fraudulent publication regarding the federal government’s palliative.
The government which denounced the trending publications as fake declared that it did not emanate from the state Ministry of Finance.
Making this known in a statement signed by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Finance, Akeem Bello on Thursday, the Osun State government urged members of the public to discount the publication, saying it was intended to mislead and swindle unsuspecting persons.
The statement, which hinted that at the appropriate time, the state government will issue information on palliative measures, added that it will be released to the public through designated government agencies and verifiable official channels.
In another development, members of the fuel subsidy removal palliative committee in the state have enjoined the state government to put on hold the distribution of the three thousand bags of rice received from the federal government.
They revealed that the suspension became necessary to await the arrival of the fourteen thousand three hundred and twenty bags expected as the second batch.
The advice was given during a press conference in Osogbo on Wednesday.
Addressing the media, the chairman, Mustapha Olawuyi explained that the committee agreed that the distribution of the palliatives should begin after the state might have acknowledged the receipt of the second batch.
