OFFICIAL GAZETTE
Our Ref: WBA/IMF/VOL.03/01 DATE: 17th Mar 2026
FROM DR. MAXWELL JOHNSON,
WBA, COUNTRY REP. NIGERIA.
Sir,
RE – NOTIFICATION OF PAYMENT
It has come to our notice, the international bank for reconstruction and development (WORLD BANK) through our Intelligence Monitoring network (IMN) that besides malpractices by government officials, the government of Nigeria through its Apex Bank, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is imposing stringent conditions on foreign contractors, thereby making it difficult for them to collect their contract funds.
Consequently, the World Bank through its Auditors now sitting in Nigeria resolved to intervene in matters concerning release of contract funds to beneficiaries by the CBN. The aim is to check malpractices and exploitation of contractors by government officials and ensure that contractors receive their funds without further delay or frustration by adopting the “direct transfer” mode of payment.
We are pleased to inform you that we have allocated $20,000,000.00 as the first installment to you for payment in this 1st financial quarter of year 2026. According to the records available in the Audit Department, you have made several attempts in the past to get this payment but to no avail. Furthermore, in addition to certain irregularities/discrepancies in your file indicative of misrepresentation, there is confusion resulting from applications seeking to transfer your funds to other accounts. You are therefore WARNED to stop any further communication with anybody here in Nigeria, be it official of the NNPC, your agent or otherwise in respect of your funds which will be in your nominated account in a few days’ time.
As a matter of urgency, furnish us with the following vital information
1. Y our full names and address.
2. A copy of your International Passport.
3. Your Receiving Bank Particulars.
4. Your contract number
You are hereby advised, that you must never forward this message to anybody as such an action will jeopardize the chances of getting your funds. This is because we want to work without being harassed by any person or group of persons.
Your cooperation in this regard would be appreciated.
Best regards,
Maxwell Johnson.
Executive Secretary – World Bank Auditors.
