Akwa Ibom State government has denied the claims that governor Umo Eno has begun the payment of N50,000 bussiness grant to all individuals in the state.
The Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr Ekerete Udoh in a press release on Saturday stated that the report was fake aimed at scamming unsuspecting members of the public.
He, therefore, urged the people not to fall prey to the scam by clicking to the fake link they provided saying that the only authentic Business Grants and indeed other empowerment schemes currently executed by governor Eno are those that are being harvested, profiled and screened through this authentic and duly certified website which is: https://employment.akwaibomstate.gov.ng.
The release read, “Our attention has been drawn to a scheme by scammers, obviously aimed at hoodwinking unsuspecting members of the public to the effect that His Excellency, Pastor Umo Eno, PhD, Governor, Akwa Ibom has “begun the payment of N50,000 Business Grant to all individuals in Akwa Ibom” State.
”The scammers further stated that, “over 10,000 people have received N50,000 each from Governor Umo Eno’s Community Development Group.”
“We wish to notify the general public that the link they provided is fake. The general public is hereby advised to discountenance and ignore this reprehensible work of scammers and con- artists.”
