President Bola Tinubu has ordered the suspension of three permanent secretaries over the discovery of a new fake agency.
The phoney agency, known as the National Brands Development and Made in Nigeria Special Project Office, was said to be operating within the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.
The suspected permanent secretaries are M.S. Danjuma, Nadungu Gagare, and Richard P. Pheelangwah.
The president also ordered the immediate arrest of the alleged promoter of the fake agency, George Buchi Nwabueze.
The chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), Musa Aliyu, who disclosed the developments to State House correspondents on Friday, said Mr Nwabueze “was discovered to also operate under four other variations of name.”
