Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, has raised the alarm that some people are issuing fake introductory letters in his name, to scam job and other favor seekers.
According to a statement signed by the Director of Information at Mustapha’s office, Willie Bassey, the scammers are also deceiving unsuspected people by saying the SGF’s office supervises constituency projects.
The statement reads, “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.”
