The President Bola Tinubu’s government had denied knowledge of any “FG Humanitarian and Poverty Alleviation Trust Fund” portal currently circulating on social media.
Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Dr. Betta Edu, stated this in a statement on Tuesday.
The minister said the portal did not emanate from the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation as it was created by undesirable elements with the sole intention of defrauding unsuspecting members of the public.
Edu said there will never be a portal from either the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation or any other ministries, departments or agencies of government or its partners to apply for or access funds from the Humanitarian and Poverty Alleviation Trust Fund.
The general public is therefore, advised to discountenance the circulating link to the alleged portal as it is a creation of fraudsters.
