How we uncovered fraud in pensions payment — Oshiomhole...

Edo State's Governor Adams Oshiomhole has revealed how the state government made the discovery of fraud in pension administration in the state, saying while some pensioners were unable to get their gratuities, others had two vouchers in their names.

He has therefore ordered the scrapping of the State Pensions Board and that a Bureau will be created to oversee the payment of pensions just as he announced that the Government will immediately key into Contributory Pensions Scheme as a way to stem the incidences of fraud in pension payment.
The Governor has however assured that within two weeks, Local Government pensioners will get paid as steps have been taken to ensure that henceforth, regardless of the amount of money accruing to Local Governments, they make provisions for the payment of local government pensioners.
