NERDC disowns fake funding request for revised basic education curriculum

The Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC) has issued a strong denial regarding a fraudulent document circulating online. The fake document falsely solicits financial support for the production, printing, and nationwide distribution of the Revised Basic Education Curriculum for the 2026/2027 academic session.

NERDC has officially disowned the solicitation, emphasizing that no such request has been authorized. The council is alerting the public and stakeholders to be vigilant against this deceptive practice. The fraudulent scheme aims to exploit individuals and organizations by falsely claiming to represent NERDC's initiatives for the upcoming curriculum.

This clarification serves to protect the public from potential scams and maintain the integrity of NERDC's official processes. The council urges anyone who encounters such a document to report it immediately and rely only on official communications from the organization.
