THE Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, has warned Nigerians to beware of fake letters of contracts purportedly awarded by the commission which is now circulation.

A statement issued by the NCC on Saturday, in Lagos, said 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 NCC urged 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 enjoined members of the public to report such offers of the fake letters of contract award to the NCC or the law enforcement agencies, adding that “Any person who deals with such peddlers of fake letters does so at his/her own risk.”
