The Oyo state government on Friday reacted to an online platform asking residents to fill out 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), Segun Ogunwuyi described the report as Fake News.
Ogunwuyi said his committee was already working hard on the Governor’s relief packages in the wake of subsidy removal which necessitated approval by the Governor to deployj 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; N500million for deserving farmers under food security; another N500million for SMEs amongst other palliatives are on course to mitigate the sufferings of the masses following subsidy removal.”
The chairman of SAfER however warned people of the State not to fall victim of the fake news asking them to submit their personal information online to be eligible for the purported N10,000 cash support.
