 CBN Denounces Fake Contracts and Grants, Warns Nigerians of Fraudulent Schemes


The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has dismissed claims of contracts and grant awards circulating among the public, labeling them as fraudulent schemes designed to deceive unsuspecting Nigerians.


In a statement issued on Monday by Acting Spokesperson Hakama Sidi-Ali, the apex bank cautioned citizens against falling prey to individuals and groups falsely claiming to represent the CBN in offering contracts, grants, or financial interventions. The bank clarified that it does not initiate such offers through unsolicited communications, including emails, phone calls, SMS, WhatsApp, or social media platforms.


The CBN further emphasized that it does not request fees for contracts, grants, or financial services, nor does it engage intermediaries or third parties to facilitate such opportunities. Despite a public advisory issued on November 18, 2024, through official channels and media outlets, these deceptive schemes have persisted, prompting renewed warnings.


“The CBN has not authorized, licensed, or appointed any individual, group, or organization to act as an agent or intermediary in offering contracts, financial grants, or intervention funds,” the statement read. The bank urged the public to report any suspicious claims to law enforcement agencies or the nearest CBN branch immediately.


Reaffirming its commitment to protecting Nigerians’ financial interests, the CBN said it is collaborating with security agencies to investigate and curb these fraudulent activities. The bank advised heightened vigilance to avoid falling victim to such scams.
