A fictitious government office, allegedly operating without presidential authorization, has infiltrated state and federal institutions in Nigeria, according to the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC). The National Brands Development and Made-in-Nigeria Special Project Office, which claimed ties to the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF), was revealed to have engaged with various government entities and even hosted meetings with state officials.

Despite the ICPC's disclosure, it remains unclear how government officials and institutions were misled into believing the organization was authorized.
