The National Brands Development and Made in Nigeria Special Project Office, an alleged fake agency, operated across multiple states and foreign countries, per PUNCH Online. The office, led by Hon. Nwabueze George, boasted a structure that included a director of national administration, three zonal directors, 20 state coordinators, and representatives in China and the United States.
The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) revealed that President Bola Tinubu had ordered George Nwabueze's arrest and the suspension of three permanent secretaries following its discovery. The ICPC also found that Nwabueze had used several variations of his name, including George Nathan Nwabueze and Prince George Buchi Nwabueze, among others.
The website listed Nwabueze as the "Executive Director, National Coordinator" and claimed the project operated under the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF), despite the ICPC's findings of unauthorized operation. The agency's framework emphasized its involvement in trade exhibitions, economic forums, and support for small and medium-sized enterprises.
