How Anambra got involved with fake federal agency

By Vincent Ujumadu

Details have emerged on how the Anambra State Government became involved with a purported federal agency domiciled in the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), which was later discovered by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) to be fake.

The agency had planned to organise a Made-in-Nigeria Fair in Anambra State after the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Mrs Chiamaka Nnake, was nominated as the state’s focal person.

Following the ICPC’s discovery that the agency was fake, Nnake said the organisation had misled the state government into preparing to host its maiden Made-in-Nigeria Fair in December.

In a statement titled, “Clarification on the ‘Made-in-Nigeria Agency’ and My Role as State Focal Person,” Nnake explained how the state became involved with the organisation.
