PFIPC scandal: Tinubu receives ICPC’s interim report on ‘fake’ agency

President Bola Tinubu has received an interim report from the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) regarding an investigation into the fictitious Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC). The report, presented by ICPC Chairman Musa Adamu, reveals that the agency was never officially created by the Nigerian government and that all related documentation, including an appointment letter, was forged. The investigation also uncovered two additional fake agencies allegedly set up by the suspect, Adeniyi Adeyemi Matthew, who used them to conduct unauthorized activities. Adamu noted that no government funds were allocated to the fake agency and no security breaches were found, but he highlighted systemic weaknesses in verification processes and inter-agency coordination that allowed the fraud to persist. The ICPC recommends prosecuting Adeyemi and imposing administrative sanctions on involved public officials.
