Documents Reveal SGF’s Office Forwarded ‘Fake Agency’ Office-Space Request

Exclusive documents show that the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation formally received and processed an office-accommodation request from the so-called Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC) months before the Presidency denied its existence. The November 2024 correspondence, signed by the Permanent Secretary in the SGF’s General Services Office, was routed through the EFCC for allocation of recovered federal properties. The PFIPC’s self-styled Director-General, Prince Adeyemi, had described the council as a one-stop investment centre tasked with coordinating foreign direct investments and policy advocacy across MDAs. Those documents surfaced amid Adeyemi’s ongoing criminal trial on charges of conspiracy, forgery and impersonation. Prosecutors allege he invented the PFIPC, forged presidential appointment letters and used fake seals to meet with diplomats and apply for visas under the council’s name. The court has listed the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, and other senior officials as witnesses in the eight-count charge sheet. Investigators say Adeyemi operated dozens of bank accounts in the names of non-existent agencies and misled government bodies for official support.
