The Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), on Wednesday warned those using social media and other platforms to lure members of the public to a non-existing appointment at the Office.
A statement by the Director Information, Office of Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Willie Bassey, also noted that false information are also being circulated concerning constituency projects being executed under SGF supervision.
He said “The attention of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, has been drawn to unrelenting activities of faceless persons using the social media and other platforms to lure unsuspecting 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, for Federal Government appointments.
“The Office is similarly aware of inaccurate information being peddled around regarding constituency projects being executed under its supervision. For the avoidance of doubt, the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation neither executes nor supervises constituency projects.
“Also, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation has become aware of numerous forged introductory letters purportedly issued from his office seeking diverse favours from individuals and corporate entities for personal gains.
“The general public is by this notice advised to beware of the clandestine activities of these dubious and fraudulent persons and their cohorts going about to fleece unsuspecting members of the public. Assuredly, the Government has evolved measures to track these unpatriotic and faceless persons and will bring to justice anyone found engaging in these unwholesome activities.
“For any enquiry and clarification, the official communication channels of the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation are: Website Address: www.osgf.gov.ng, Email Address:info@osgf.gov.ng.”
