The Federal Government warned that individuals who engage in such criminal act must desist or prepare to face the wrath of the law.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji LAI MOHAMMED came out with the government position in a statement issued in Abuja.
The Minister said government was aware that some opportunists have been going from one government organization to another with notes purportedly recommending them for contracts and other patronage, using the names of the President, his family members and senior government officials.
LAI MOHAMMED said President BUHARI did not authorize any government official to write notes recommending anyone for contracts or any form of patronage.
He warned those involved in such fraudulent activities to stop immediately or face possible arrest and prosecution by security agents.
The Minister also warned government officials who may be working in collusion with con men to desist from the act or face dire disciplinary action and prosecution for fraud.
