Secretary to the government of the federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, has said his attention has been drawn to the purported fake appointments by unscrupulous elements to swindle unsuspecting individuals.
The SGF, in a statement by the head of information in his office, Segun Imohiosen, 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 for 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.
He said the culprit has been using the name of the former director of Information, Willie Bassey and some fraudulent contacts, among others, to defraud unsuspecting Nigerians.
He said, “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 inquiry and clarification should follow the official communication channels of the OSGF.”
In view of the above, the SGF warns peddlers of such fraudulent requests to desist forthwith from using the office to fleece unsuspecting members of the public or face the wrath of the law.
