The massive circulation of fake letters of award of various contracts purportedly written by the Secretary of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has attracted the attention of the Commission.
In a terse statement issued by the agency, it warned Nigerians, saying “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.
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.
