NITDA clears air on alleged President Tinubu’s N50,000 grant scheme

 The National Information Technology Development Agency
(NITDA) has dismissed a viral grant scheme being circulated on social media as
‘President Bola Tinubu’s N50,000 Cash Grant’ to Nigerians.

 

This was contained in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja by
Mrs Hadiza Umar, Head, Corporate Affairs and External Relations, NITDA.

 

Umar, who cautioned Nigerians about the scheme, said that
the website associated with the grant was a phishing website designed to
mislead unsuspecting citizens.

 

According to her, NITDA-Computer Emergency Readiness and
Response Team (NITDA-CERRT) advises the public to avoid clicking on unknown
links.

 

“The website ‘https://thryt.com/50k-CashGrants, is a
phishing website that tends to lure users into divulging their personal
information, such as full names, phone number, home address, email address and
bank account details, such as name of bank and account number,” she said.

 

“Avoid clicking on this website and other similar websites,
which can lead to divulging personal information in order not to fall prey to
cyber criminals.”

 

She explained that the government would always communicate
such information via the appropriate agency supervising such programmes, should
there be any.

 

Umar advised the public to contact the agency’s CERRT on
email via cerrt@nitda.gov.ng, phone number- +234 817 877 4580, web address-
www.cerrt.ng.
