The National Orientation Agency NOA has alerted members of the public on the increasing activities of fraudsters who are using the name of our Director General to prey on unsuspecting members of the public, especially on social media, with claims and services not within the core mandate of the Agency.
NOA in a release said in the last three months, several telephone numbers including +2347032586076, Whatsapp accounts, social media profiles have been used to contact members of the public claiming to belong to the Director General, Mallam lanre Issa-Onilu.
“The Agency wishes to clarify that operations of the Agency are not conducted on the social media and therefore it is not the channel for the official notification of the directive of the Director General.
“For authentic information and updates about the activities and operation of the NOA, we advise strongly that members of the public should verify through the official website of the Agency, WWW.noa.gov.ng or interact with the artificial intelligence (AI) enabled voice and text assistant, CLHEEAN. Additionally, you can relate with us on our updated social media hubs: Facebook:National Orientation Agency Nigeria, X, tiktok,Instagram and youtube : noa_Nigeria.
NOA therefore charged members of the public to exercise vigilance and prudence when approached with unverified offers or announcement regarding the activities of the agency.
