NIMASA D-G cautions against fake social media accounts
The Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr Dayo Mobereola, has cautioned members of the public against fake social media accounts with purported links to the agency.
Mobereola gave the advice in his verified X handle on Monday in Lagos.
He said that the fake accounts being floated on social media were not affiliated with or endorsed by him or the agency.
The D-G advised members of the public to be wary and only communicate with the agency’s official social media platforms.
“For the avoidance of doubt, any party that puts itself forward as acting on behalf of NIMASA or any member of the agency’s executive management is false.
“NIMASA disclaims and bears no responsibility whatsoever for their action.
“Members of the public are hereby urged to treat with suspicion any such offerings and verify their claims in order not to fall prey to these scammers.
“NIMASA has not designated any entity or persons to act on its behalf.
“Please report such incidents to info@nimasa.gov.ng or the appropriate law enforcement agencies,” he said.
