The Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction has dismissed claims of a ₦50,000 Child Support Grant for Nigerian parents, labeling the information as fake.
In a statement issued on Saturday in Abuja, the Director of Information, Mrs. Rhoda Iliya, warned Nigerians to beware of fraudsters attempting to exploit them through such false claims.
The ministry urged the public to rely only on official channels for accurate information regarding government programs.
”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 will undertake such programs there will be a proper enlightenment.
”Nigerians should be careful, don’t be a victim of these scammers on social media.
”Also alert your families, friends, and wellwishers not to apply, ” the statement added.
