Official documents have raised fresh questions over the Presidency’s insistence that the controversial Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC) never existed.
According to a report by Saturday Punch, the documents show that the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF) received, acknowledged and processed official correspondence submitted in the council’s name months before the Presidency publicly declared it a fictitious agency.
Among the documents is a letter showing that the OSGF forwarded a request by the council’s self-styled director-general, Adeniyi Adeyemi, seeking office accommodation from recovered Federal Government properties managed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The forwarding letter, dated November 21, 2024, was signed by the permanent secretary, General Services Office, Nnamdi Maurice Mbaeri, on behalf of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.
Attached was Adeyemi’s earlier letter dated November 7, 2024, requesting office accommodation for the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council.
