Osun State Government has directed that all bedridden and healthy-challenged pensioners will henceforth have their audit exercise conducted through telephone, and as such, will no longer be required to be physically present at the venue of the screening exercise.
This was publicly announced by the commissioner for information and public enlightenment, Kolapo Alimi, on Monday.
According to him “Pensioners outside the state at the moment no longer need to travel down to Osun State as they will also be having their screening through the telephone.
“Additionally, pensioners in the diaspora will also be screened only through video calls.
“In line with the above, the Pension Board is expected to make available all the particulars, especially pictures of pensioners to the Consultant, for ease of identification during the video call screenings.
“The above directives take immediate effect. He concluded
