The National Brands Development and Made-in-Nigeria Special Project Office, often referred to as a "fake" agency, made claims of having the Federal Government's support in Nigeria. However, the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has investigated the organization and found that it operates independently of government backing.
ICPC Chairman Musa Aliyu, SAN, revealed that the office was illegally occupying space within the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF) without the necessary presidential authorization.

The agency's claims of providing a broad range of responsibilities to promote Nigerian products, support businesses, and drive the country toward a production-led economy have been exposed as fraudulent.
