Nwabueze Buchi George, national coordinator of the National Brands Development and Made in Nigeria Special Project Office, has shared an appointment letter purportedly issued by the office of the secretary to the government of the federation (SGF).
On Saturday, President Bola Tinubu ordered the arrest of
George over the alleged operation of a fake government agency within the
premises of the SGF office.
The president also ordered the immediate suspension of three
permanent secretaries following findings by the Independent Corrupt Practices
and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).
Musa Aliyu, ICPC chairman, said the discovery was made
during a broader investigation into the activities of the alleged fake
Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC) and other
procedural weaknesses in government.
Reacting in a post on his LinkedIn page on Saturday, George
shared his purported appointment letter, which bears the OSGF letterhead.
The letter, dated October 3, 2025, with reference no:
OSGF/MIN/59310/11/205, was signed by Nadungu Gagare, designated as permanent
secretary at the political and economic affairs office.

The letter was titled “Appointment as National Coordinator
and Executive Director Made in Nigeria Project Office”.
It reads: “I am directed to formally convey the approval of
your appointment as National Coordinator/Executive Director of the Made in
Nigeria Project Office under the Office of the Secretary to the Government of
the Federation.
“The appointment follows a careful evaluation of your
commitment, contribution, and capacity in delivering on the mandate of the
Special Project Office.
“The appointment is a five-year tenure starting from July
2025 and is renewable.”
According to the letter, George’s responsibilities include
the supervision and development of programmes, projects and policies, as well
as supervision of regional and state coordinators.
He was also tasked with organising exhibitions, trade expos,
economic summits and other promotional initiatives in line with the national
mandate to promote economic development through indigenous products and
services.
The letter further stated that the project would utilise
“the temporary Office Space at Room B53, Ground Floor, within the OSGF Complex”
for the project’s coordination.
It also noted that the appointment was “at the pleasure of
the Secretary to the Government of the Federation” and in line with the
objectives of the Made in Nigeria initiative under the Renewed Hope agenda.
Several state governments received multiple letters from
George, requesting that they nominate state coordinators for the Made in
Nigeria Project Office.
