The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, has alerted the public to fake offers of appointments by unscrupulous elements to swindle unsuspecting individuals.
The SGF described as false the information circulating on social media, emails, text messages, and other outlets urging members of the public to submit their curriculum vitae at a fee to a non-existing desk at the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation to facilitate their selection for various federal government appointments.
Head of Information, Segun Imohiosen, who conveyed this in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja, urged the general public to be wary of the perpetrators of the dubious activities and their cohorts and disregard such information being peddled around.
Imohiosen said: “The attention of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation has been drawn to the purported fake appointments by unscrupulous elements to swindle unsuspecting individuals.
“The SGF described as false the information circulating on social media, emails, text messages, and other outlets urging members of the public to submit their curriculum vitae at a fee to a non-existing desk at the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation to facilitate their selection for various federal government appointments.
“The culprit has been using the name of the former Director of Information, Willie Bassey, and these fraudulent contacts: *Aliyu Isah; +234 9168487156; +234 8035557865; and email: [email protected]*, among others, to defraud unsuspecting Nigerians.
“The general public is advised by this notice to be wary of the perpetrators of these dubious activities and their cohorts and to disregard such information being peddled around.
