The Ogun State Government has denied a viral post circulating on social media claiming that Governor Dapo Abiodun is providing N10,000 cash palliatives every citizen across the state.
According to Kayode Akinmade, Special Adviser on Media and Communications to the Governor, the message is an evident hoax, and the government urges the people of the state not to fall victim to it.
He claims the hoax mail also includes a link, encouraging people to apply for the aforementioned cash palliative and share the information so that others might profit.
The Ogun State Government is not involved in any type of cash transfer program through the link provided in the scam message as https://taskcashup.com/get/OGUN-st-relief-funds/Apply/ogun-reg-portal,” the statement specifically clarified, adding that the link is fraudulent and unauthorized by the government.
“The administration of Governor Dapo Abiodun is committed to genuinely alleviating the suffering of the state’s citizens and residents through initiatives such as the numerous empowerment programmes and policies it has implemented since 2019, as well as the N5 billion intervention scheme it recently announced.
