PFIPC: ICPC uncovers multiple fake agencies as Tinubu orders forensic probe

President Bola Tinubu directed the commissioning of a forensic investigation into the fake Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council scandal. The Minister of Finance, Taiwo Oyedele, revealed that the council has discovered multiple fake agencies, in addition to the one known. Oyedele emphasized the importance of establishing how the scandal occurred, how it can be prevented, and how to strengthen the system.

The review is to extend to the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System, as fake agencies likely indicate fake employees in the federal payroll. Oyedele stated that the President ordered the review to start with N9.495tn in subsidy savings and incremental revenue, warning that fake agencies and personnel undermine the ability to pay civil servants well.
