PHOTO: Office signage for PFIPC still displayed at federal secretariat

The signage indicating the direction to the office of the purported presidential foreign intervention promotion council (PFIPC), also referred to as the presidential economic advisory council (PEAC), still remains at the federal secretariat in Abuja.

 

A visit to the federal secretariat on Monday showed that the PFIPC signage remains mounted on the floor occupied by the federal ministry of health, directing visitors to the office.

 

The federal secretariat houses offices of ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs), making it the administrative hub of the federal civil service.

 

Despite no legal framework or presidential declaration, PFIPC operated like a government agency with allocation in the 2026 budget, office at the federal secretariat, and recruitment of staff.

HOW THE CONTROVERSY STARTED

 

In June, the presidency distanced itself from the PFIPC, insisting that it does not exist under the current administration.

 

In a statement, Femi Gbajabiamila, chief of staff to President Bola Tinubu, said his office did not appoint an individual named Adeniyi Adeyemi for the organisation.

However, Adeyemi, convener of the disputed PFIPC, challenged Gbajabiamila’s disclaimer, and called on the president to establish an independent panel to investigate the controversy.

 

Adeyemi questioned how the PFIPC allegedly appeared in the 2026 budget if, as the presidency maintains, the body does not exist.

Last Wednesday, the presidency further accused Adeyemi of forging an appointment letter and falsely presenting himself as a presidential appointee.

A review of the 2026 Appropriation Act indicates that the “Presidential Economic Advisory Council/Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council” is expressly listed under the presidency, with a total budget of N1,302,978,784.

Recall that the federal government granted a waiver to the controversial PFIPC to recruit 300 members of staff in August 2025.

 

The police had filed an eight-count charge against Adeyemi and two others, who are currently at large.
