The Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction has described as fake the purported Federal Government’s N50,000 Child Support Grant for all Nigerian Parents trending on social media.
Mrs Rhoda Iliya, the Director of Information in the ministry, in a statement on Saturday in Abuja, described the information as fake.
The statement cautioned parents to be wary of the activities of fraudsters trying to scam them.
”This is a scam trending on social media and the Ministry has tagged it as fake news.
“We are not aware of this registration portal, and if the ministry undertakes such programs, there will be proper enlightenment.
”Nigerians should be careful, don’t be a victim of these scammers on social media.
”Also, alert your families, friends, and well-wishers not to apply, ” the statement added.
