The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission has warned the public against fraudulent individuals who peddle contract offers purportedly on its behalf.
A statement on Monday by its spokesman, Eniola Akinkuotu, said the unscrupulous individuals used tactics such as name-dropping and misinformation on social media to deceive the public.
According to NUPRC, the fraudsters do so solely to extort money.
All contracts processed by the NUPRC were done transparently and strictly in line with the Public Procurement Act, 2007, and other extant regulations, the statement said.
“Therefore, anyone who transacts with a third party in order to gain an imaginary undue advantage within the NUPRC does so solely at their own risk.
“For information on any procurement, visit the NUPRC website – www.nuprc.gov.ng – or local newspapers for tenders to bid,” it warned.
