SGF Office Approved Trip for Alleged Fake Council DG, Documents Show

Fresh documents reveal the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF) approved a trip for Adeniyi Adeyemi, the disowned Director-General of the alleged Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), to attend the Canada-Africa Fintech Summit (CAFS) in August 2025. The approval came from Engr. Nadungu Gagare, Permanent Secretary of the Political and Economic Affairs Office within the OSGF, on behalf of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.

The presidency had previously stated that the PFIPC never existed and that Adeyemi concocted letters and claims. It also called on the Department of State Services, the Nigeria Police Force, and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to identify and prosecute individuals within government institutions who allegedly aided Adeyemi's scheme. This latest development escalates the dispute involving the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, and Adeyemi.

Meanwhile, the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has urged the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, to provide details on the allocation of over N1.3 billion to the PFIPC in the 2026 Appropriation Act. The controversy highlights a pattern of scandals that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar claims are now too frequent in governance under President Bola Tinubu's administration, suggesting the presidency cannot escape accountability for the Gbajabiamila claims.

In accordance with Mr President’s Economic Strategies on the Agenda. I invite you to participate in and join the Nigerian delegation to Canada from August 3rd to 8th, 2025.
