ICPC uncovers fake National Brands agency in Secretary's office

ICPC disclosed on Friday (Aug 20, 2026) that it uncovered another fake agency operating under the name "National Brands Development and Made in Nigeria Special Project Office", which had been illegally allocated office space within the premises of the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.

This discovery is part of the ICPC’s ongoing investigation into the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC), following the earlier uncovering of two more fraudulent agencies. It reveals how fictitious offices exploit government premises to siphon public funds and erode trust in legitimate institutions.

Citizens should verify any government office requesting payments or documents by checking official registries or contacting the ICPC directly. The commission urges members of the public to report suspicious offices. Staying vigilant helps curb such fraud and protects national resources. Will you double-check the authenticity of unfamiliar government agencies before engaging with them, or rely solely on appearances?
