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

“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 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.
