Osun: 768 complaints lodged, N4 million recovered in nine months, PCC says
The Public Complaints Commission says it received 768 complaints between January and September from residents in Osun.
This was announced in a statement by PCC’s director of investigation, Mewase Ayodele, on Wednesday in Osogbo.
Mr Ayodele said 446 out of the 768 complaints received were successfully resolved.
He also stated that under the watch of the commission’s federal commissioner in the state, Aremo Alao, ₦4.2 million was recovered from various complaints at no cost.
Mr Ayodele said the commission was created and empowered to entertain complaints from the general public.
According to him, the complaints include administrative injustice, non-issuance of results by examination bodies, and delay in payment of gratuity or land compensation, among others.
“For free, quick, and impartial arbitration of complaints against maladministration and social injustice, members of the public can visit any of the PCC offices nearest to them,” he said.
PCC, also known as the Nigeria Ombudsman Institution, was established on October 16, 1975, and celebrated its 50th anniversary on October 16.
