The newly uncovered 'phantom' National Brands Development and Made-in-Nigeria Special Project Office, now under investigation by the ICPC, has been organizing public events, promoting international trade programmes and inviting high-profile guests such as governors, senior government officials and other prominent Nigerians since its inception.
The office, operating under various names and led by George Buchi Nwabueze, has listed serving and former government officials as its coordinators across multiple states, with representatives in at least two countries – the United States and China. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has ordered the immediate arrest of George Buchi Nwabueze, who is believed to have operated the office without presidential authorization and allocated space within the premises of the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF).
