Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume, has raised alarm that fraudsters are using his office to issue fake appointments to members of the public.
In a statement on Sunday by Segun Imohiosen, Head of Information at the SGF’s Office, Akume debunked the information circulating on social media, emails, text messages, and other outlets luring members of the public to submit their curriculum vitae at a fee to a non-existing desk in his office.
“The culprit has been using the name of the former Director Information, Willie Bassey, and these fraudulent contacts; Aliyu Isah; +234 9168487156, +234 8035557865 and email; draliyu95@gmail.com, among others to defraud unsuspecting Nigerians.

“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 enquiry and clarification should follow the official communication channels of the OSGF via www.osgf.gov.ng and info@osgf.gov.ng,” he said.
Akume, therefore, warned peddlers of such fraudulent requests to desist forthwith from using his office to fleece unsuspecting members of the public or face the full wrath of the law.
The SGF had earlier in the month given the same warning to unsuspecting members of the public.
