Meet head of Nigeria’s new ‘fake’ agency, 20 state coordinators, reps in China, US

The alleged fake National Brands Development and Made in Nigeria Special Project Office in Nigeria has a complex organizational structure spanning several states and two foreign countries, with an acclaimed national coordinator, zonal directors, state coordinators, and representatives in China and the United States. Hon. Nwabueze George is listed as the "Executive Director, National Coordinator" on the office's website, alongside other officials such as Dr. Bassey B. Unaowo as "Special Assistant to the Permanent Secretary on Political and Economic Affairs, OSGF," and multiple zonal directors.

The office operated under the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF) despite lacking presidential authorization, as confirmed by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).
