George Akume, Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) has raised alarm over the activities of some unscrupulous elements, using his office to issue fake appointments to members of the public.
Akume made this known in a statement made available to newsmen on Sunday by Mr Segun Imohiosen, Head of Information, Office of the SGF, in Abuja.
He debunked the information circulating via social media, emails, text messages, and other outlets luring members of the public to submit their curriculum vitae at a fee, to a non-existing desk in his office.
He noted that purported fake appointments emanating from the SGF office was issued by unscrupulous elements to swindle unsuspecting individuals.
“The culprit has been using the name of the former Director Information, Willie Bassey, and these fraudulent contacts; Aliyu Isah; +234 9168487156, +234 8035557865 and email; draliyu95@gmail.com, among others to defraud unsuspecting Nigerians.
“The general public is by this notice advised to be wary of the perpetrators of these dubious activities and their cohorts; and disregard such information being peddled around.
“Any official enquiry and clarification should follow the official communication channels of the OSGF via www.osgf.gov.ng and info@osgf.gov.ng,” he said.
In view of the above, the SGF warned peddlers of such fraudulent requests to desist forthwith from using the office to fleece unsuspecting members of the public or otherwise face the full wrath of the law.
