MSME Survival Fund: Fake Survival Fund Twitter Handles continue to mislead Applicants

While the Project Delivery Office of the N75Billion MSMEs Survival Fund Scheme has intensified efforts to ensure that all verified applicants of the Payroll Supports Track of the Scheme recieve their payments, some Fake MSME Survival Fund Twitter handles have continued to dish out false and misleading information to the public, contradicting the efforts of the PDO.

Some of the fake accounts had claimed that massive payments would commence on 17th or 18th May, 2021 which shattered the hope of the applicants who watched their phones till morning of 19th May, 2021 when they saw no Alerts.

Six fake MSMEs Survival Fund Twitter handles have been identified as participants in peddling false information/replies to the public against the immense efforts of the Federal Government to fully and efficiently implement the MSME Survival Funds Scheme.
