a. CBN: https://www.cbn.gov.ng
b. NAICOM: https://naicom.gov.ng
c. PenCom: https://www.pencom.gov.ng and
d. SEC: https://sec.gov.ng
Consequently, the Public is advised to report any individual or entities suspected to be involved in such nefarious activities to Law enforcement agencies. And Call: tolled line: 0700-225-5226; Toll-Free Line: 0800-225-5226.
