The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) says it uncovers another alleged “fake” agency operating from the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF). The ICPC says the unit is known as “National Brands Development and Made in Nigeria Special Project Office,” and that it has been unlawfully allocated office space within the SGF premises.
The reports describe the development as part of ongoing checks into purported government entities and their use of public resources. ICPC frames the finding as evidence of wrongdoing, while other details such as the agency’s activities and the specific evidence cited are not fully outlined in the available excerpts. Vanguard also reports that President Bola Tinubu suspends three Permanent Secretaries, linking the broader administrative actions with the anti-corruption investigation. Daily Post focuses primarily on ICPC’s announcement about the alleged fake agency.
Across the outlets, the shared points are ICPC’s identification of the “National Brands Development and Made in Nigeria Special Project Office” as an unlawful setup in the SGF office, and the timing of the disclosure on a Friday. Both accounts present the event as a continuation of scrutiny over internal government arrangements and compliance with established procedures.
