The Federal Ministry of Water Resources and Sanitation has disowned online documents relating to the 100,000-hectare Multi-Crop Project, describing them as unauthorised and misleading.
The ministry stated this in a public disclaimer issued by the Office of the Permanent Secretary and made available to reporters on Wednesday.
It said the documents, attributed to CARECOM COMFAS and the RBDA National Agricultural Intervention Programme, did not originate from the ministry.
The documents include a contractor registration form for input suppliers, an infographic on implementation and field operations, and an alignment map linking river basin development authorities with the multi-crop project.
The ministry urged the public, stakeholders and partners to disregard the documents and refrain from relying on them for official purposes.
It stated that official information on its activities and programmes was disseminated only through established communication channels and duly signed documents.
The ministry warned that the circulation of false documents violated Nigerian law and that appropriate legal action would be taken against those found culpable.
It advised the public to seek verification or clarification through its official communication platforms.
