The National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) has distanced itself from a purported Investment Fund Programme named “National Startup Investment Fund Program.
In a statement signed by its Head, Corporate Affairs and External Relations, Mrs. Hadiza Umar, NITDA said the Investment Fund Programme named “National Startup Investment Fund Program”, accessible via (https://nationalstartupinvestmentfund.com), is not from the Federal Government as being purported.
“The attention of the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) has been drawn to an Investment Fund Programme named “National Startup Investment Fund Program”, accessible via (https://nationalstartupinvestmentfund.com), being purported to be from the Federal Government and requesting for individuals and startups in Nigeria to apply,” the statement read.
The federal government agency thus called on the general public to avoid and desist from divulging personal information on this website and urges unsuspecting Nigerians to only visit official websites of Government Agencies to confirm the authenticity of any grant schemes or investment fund programmes.
