Fake Agency: State House denies requesting budget code from OAGF

..as Reps uncover fresh contradictions

…FRSC defends number plate allocation

By Gift ChapiOdekina, Abuja

The State House on Thursday distanced itself from the controversial Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council (PFIPC), telling the House of Representatives Ad-hoc Committee investigating the body that it never requested a budget code from the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation (OAGF) and had no knowledge of the council until reports about it appeared in the media.

The testimony came as the Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Shehu Mohammed, defended the Corps’ decision to issue seven official Federal Government number plates to the purported agency, insisting the approvals followed established procedures and were based on documents and representations that appeared genuine.
