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 as the only authentic Business Grants and indeed other empowerment schemes currently being executed by the Pastor Umo Eno, PhD Administration are those that are being harvested, profiled and screened through this authentic and duly certified website https://employment.akwaibomstate.gov.ng.
The general public is hereby advised to discountenance and ignore this reprehensible work of scammers and con- artists.
