The ministry cautioned parents to be wary of the activities of fraudsters trying to scam them.
It said, “This is a scam trending on social media and the Ministry has tagged it as fake news.”
“We are not aware of this registration portal and if the ministry will undertake such programmes there will be a proper enlightenment.”
”Nigerians should be careful, don’t be a victim of these scammers on social media.
”Also, alert your families, friends and well-wishers not to apply,”
