"officious" means: "offering service that is not wanted, doing or
undertaking more than is required" (Oxford dictionary)
"official" means: "holding office, employed in public capacity" (same)

официозный has nothing  in common with "officious" (слишком услуживый)
официозный opposes то офицуальный : unofficial/official
