Anambra State Government has disowned a fraudulent message titled “WELCOME TO FG 5BN NAIRA ANAMBRA STATE SUBSIDY PALLIATIVE”, circulating on social media platforms
A statement signed by the Press Secretary to the Governor Mr Christian Aburime said the deceptive message falsely claims to be issued by the Anambra State Ministry of Finance and purports to offer financial relief to the people of Anambra State from the Federal Government.
According to the statement, the message is a malicious scam, and it has absolutely no association with the Anambra State Government or any of its agencies and condemned in the strongest terms the criminal attempt to exploit the hopes and needs of the citizens under the guise of offering “subsidy palliative.”
It urged Ndi Anambra to exercise extreme caution and refrain from opening the provided link or entering any personal information as requested by the scam message which it said was designed to steal sensitive data and compromise the security of individuals.
The statement explained that it is crucial that any legitimate palliative programme initiated by the Federal Government for the people of Anambra State, in addition to the one announced recently by Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, will be announced through official channels.
It restated that Anambra State Government is committed to transparency and will ensure that any such disbursement is communicated through the state’s verified platforms and trusted news outlets.
The statement added that the State government remained dedicated to the utmost welfare of Ndi Anambra during these challenging times and implored all citizens to remain vigilant, disregard and report any suspicious messages or activities to the appropriate authorities.
