The government has issued a warning to young people currently applying for opportunities under the National Youth Opportunities Towards Advancement (NYOTA) programme, following a surge in fake platforms and scammers.
In a statement released on Monday August 4, the NYOTA project administrators reiterated that the programme is free of charge and that applicants are not required to pay for any services related to the initiative.
They also clarified that only the official NYOTA platforms were authorised to share updates about the programme, and that these updates could only be shared via the official NYOTA social media pages. ''Next steps on all applications will be communicated to all applicants via their numbers used during the application process as well as official announcements shared on the project website and the relevant social media channels,'' a statement from the NYOTA program.
