Another fake agency! FG suspends three perm secs, orders arrest

President Bola Tinubu has issued orders for the arrest of George Nwabueze and the immediate suspension of three permanent secretaries after the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) uncovered the existence of a fake government agency within the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF).

The fake agency, named "National Brands Development and Made-in-Nigeria Special Project Office," was illegally occupying space within the OSGF premises, in violation of the relevant laws and without the President's authorization. The ICPC chairman, Musa Aliyu, disclosed this information to State House correspondents following a briefing with Tinubu.

Aliyu explained that the fake agency was operated by George Buchi Nwabueze, who had been found to use multiple names, including Prince George Buchi Nwabueze and George Nwabueze. The ICPC had received instructions from Tinubu to investigate the fake Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFICP) and other procedural weaknesses within the public service.

As a result of the ongoing investigation, the President has ordered the immediate arrest of George Buchi Nwabueze and the immediate suspension of M.S. Danjuma, Engineer Nadungu Gagare, and Richard P. Pheelangwah, the three permanent secretaries implicated in the matter.
