The Federal Government has called on the general public to beware of a fake website purportedly set up by the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction.
The website is offering ₦50,000 as a ‘Federal Government Child Support Fund’ transfer to every Nigerian parent.
The ministry said that the website, posing as a poverty alleviation initiative of President Bola Tinubu, is a scam intending to defraud unsuspecting members of the public.
Spokesperson of the ministry, Rhoda Iliya, said that the initiative is a scam trending on social media.
“This is a scam trending on the social media and the Ministry has tagged it as fake news,” she said.
“Please don’t be a victim. Also alert your families, friends and well wishers not to apply.”
