� SCAM ALERT � DISCLAIMER

Our attention has been drawn to a Facebook page with the name and photograph of Governor Abubakar Sani Bello of Niger state, in which he is purported to be giving out the sum of N500,000 to all Nigerian youths to support their business, agriculture/farming and education through the 2020 Federal Government Empowerment Program.

We want to alert the general public that the said page and message written are a scam and an dubious machination of one Financial Secretary, Mr. Goodwin Larry, with phone number 08074382858 aimed to defraud Nigerians of their hard earned money.

Neither Governor Abubakar Sani Bello nor the state government is spending any such amount of money on any Federal or State Youth Empowerment and wish to categorically dissociate the Governor and the state government from that illegal Facebook messenger.

The general public is warned to disregard the posts on the illegal Facebook messenger page and beware not to easily fall prey to the the defrauding activities of scammers.
