Minister of State for Petroleum, Timipre Sylva, is not yet on social media, an aide said on Thursday.
Mr Sylva’s Special Assistant on Media and Public Affairs, Julius Bokoru, in a statement, advised the public to discountenance messages from pseudo-social media profiles, pages, accounts and groups bearing Sylva’s name.
“The minister of state for petroleum resources will not solicit, trade or offer deals, politically or otherwise, via social media platforms,” the statement said.
“Presently, his personal social media accounts are yet to be made public and will be communicated in due time. The public is advised to discountenance messages from pseudo-social media profiles, pages, accounts and groups bearing Sylva’s name.”
Mr Bokoru noted that there were official channels that could be accessed for reliable and accurate information concerning Sylva’s activities, especially within the oil and gas sector.
