Fake presidential agency: Bureaucratic weaknesses allowed fraud to thrive – Ex-perm sec

Former Permanent Secretary Goke Adeboroye has highlighted bureaucratic weaknesses within Nigeria's government that allegedly allowed the establishment of a fake presidential agency. This revelation came following the ICPC's discovery of the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, which the commission claimed operated with forged documents and had no legal basis.

The agency reportedly possessed no appointments or legal authority, operating within the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation. Adeboroye's comments came on Channels Television’s Inside Sources, and he emphasized key weaknesses in the bureaucratic structure, particularly within the Presidency and government offices.

He noted the need for a competent and resilient bureaucracy to prevent fraud and ensure policies are properly implemented.
