The message partly reads, “Federal Government 15 million household cash transfer program is ongoing.”
It includes a link and concludes by urging recipients to share the information with others.
Verification
In a bid to verify the authenticity of this message, the fact-checkers at Daily Trust noticed it has many grammatical errors and the link was unsafe.
Further investigation revealed that the message is not from the federal government.
Jamaldeen Kabir, the National Communications Manager at the National Social Investment Programmes Agency (NSIPA), informed Daily Trust that the federal government is not overseeing any online application process for the renewed Hope Funds transfer.
“The federal government only recognizes the National Social Register and the Rapid Response Register which contains the information of vulnerable and poor Nigerians across the country.
“This register is in the hands of each state’s planning ministry and they liaise with traditional rulers to get lists of the poor members of the community,” he added.
Jamaldeen emphasized that there is no form to complete or any link to follow for the application to receive funds from the government.
“The World Bank and the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian only recognize information on the National Social Register and that is the list used to distribute the renewed hope funds,” he said.
Conclusion
Daily Trust can verify that the message and link circulating on WhatsApp, urging Nigerians to apply online for government funds, are not endorsed by the federal government. The information in the message is false and deceptive.
