Event Summary

The House of Representatives ad hoc committee investigating the Nigeria — Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC) has declared that the appointment letter of its self-styled Director-General, Adeyemi Adeniran, is forged. Chairman Yusuf Gagdi stated that multiple government agencies confirmed the letter and the Act establishing the council were fake. Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Didi Esther Walson-Jack, also admitted the documents were not authentic. Adeyemi failed to appear before the committee despite a police order to produce him within 48 hours. The committee is probing how the council allegedly secured office space and a ₦1.32 billion allocation in the 2026 budget.
