The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr Betta Edu, has alerted Nigerians on the existence of portal designed by undesirable elements to defraud Nigerians.
Edu raised the alarm in a statement made available to TheIdeal News in Abuja on Tuesday.
The Minister also warned Nigerians to ignore the purported fake portal, saying that the portal did not emanate from the ministry.
She said, “FG Humanitarian and Poverty Alleviation Trust Fund Registration Portal is fake and did not emanate from the ministry or any other agency of government.
”The said portal is fake, created by undesirable elements with the sole intention of defrauding unsuspecting members of the public.
”There will never be a portal from either the ministry, departments and agencies of government or its partners to apply in order to access funds from the humanitarian and poverty alleviation trust fund.”
”The general public is, therefore, advised to discountenance the link being circulated,” the minister said.
