The federal government has raised an alarm over unauthorized online platforms for applying for palliative distribution in the country. Â
The Minister of Trade, Industry and Investment, Doris Uzoka-Anite, stated this on Monday in a notice signed by her. Â
According to the Minister, there are different authorized online platforms claiming associations with the Presidential Palliative Programmes, and charging people for palliative distribution. Â
She emphasised that these channels are demanding that participants pay certain amounts to, apply for palliatives. Â
Calling on Nigerians to ignore such platforms, the Minister noted that the only verified platform for the palliative initiatives is that which the government endorsed. Â
