NCC Warns Nigerians To Beware Of Fraudsters Doing This

The Nigerian
Communications
Commission (NCC) has
cautioned members of the
public against letters of
contracts purportedly awarded by the commission
in circulation, saying they
are fake. The commission said in a
statement on Saturday in
Lagos, that its attention had
been drawn to the
circulation of letters of
award of various contracts purportedly written by its
Secretary. “The commission wishes to
categorically state that
these letters were not
issued by the commission. “When contracts are to be
awarded by the
commission, adverts are
published in various
newspapers, the Federal
Tenders Journal and our websites. “The procurement process
adopted by the Commission
is always transparent and
can be duly verified. “The general public and
corporate organisations are
advised not to transact
business with the
unscrupulous persons
issuing these fake letters,’’ it said. The telecommunications
regulator urge members of
the public to ensure that
thorough diligence was
conducted in all cases to
avoid falling victim to the peddlers of the fake letters
of award. It said that offers of the
fake letters of award should
be reported to the
commission or the law
enforcement agencies. “Any person who deals with
such peddlers of fake letters
does so at his/her own risk,”
the commission said.
