LAGOS CONFIRMS AUTHENTICITY OF SMS ON STIMULUS PACKAGE


The Lagos State Government has confirmed that SMS messages received by residents who are sixty years old and above emanated from the Lagos State Residents’ Registration Agency, LASRRA, saying the aged and vulnerable residents will benefit from the stimulus food package unveiled by the State Government on Friday 27th March, 2020.


The State Commissioner for Agriculture, Prince Gbolahan Lawal, made the clarification in Lagos today, explaining that an SMS from the Lagos State Residents Registration Agency (LASRRA) was sent to the aged asking them to reply with a “YES”, “FOOD YES” or “SWITCH YES” if their registered home address with the Agency remains valid.


Lawal noted that the Ministry of Agriculture, in collaboration with the Lagos State Residents Registration Agency (LASRRA), devised the initiative to ensure fairness and evenness in the distribution of the stimulus packages, just as he emphasised that Lagos residents duly registered with LASRRA will access similar social benefits in the future.


He, therefore, urged recipients of the SMS to respond promptly before noon on Tuesday, March 31st 2020, disclosing that responses will be collated and beneficiaries will start to receive stimulus food packages from the State Government.

It's nothing but scam, I wonder why some useless set animal in human form will use the situation on ground as a means to even scam people when everyone is tryna survive this country if bleeped because if some set of assholes Aswear. GOD watch over us all

Should it not have the State Govt seal if it was genuine?

Be careful! I think State Govt website is your best resource. Go to the site and see if they have started sending out alerts. I know Lagos State Govt is very up to its game when it comes to public announcement and alerts. They will use radio, use tv, use internet. If you fall for a scam its your fault!

It's genuine , the package is for the old people in Lagos State . If you have some old people in your area and they does not register with LASRA they can't receive d message.

It is not a scam, the message is from Lagos state.

The Lagos state governor's SSA on new media has confirmed it's authenticity
