A fresh twist as emerged as the coordinator of the purported National Brands Development and Made in Nigeria Special Project Office, Prince George Buchi Nwabueze, has released an appointment letter bearing the letterhead of the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSGF). 
Nwabueze shared the document on his LinkedIn page on Saturday amid controversy surrounding the alleged establishment and operation of the agency within the OSGF.
The President also ordered the suspension of three permanent secretaries allegedly linked to the operation and directed the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) to investigate the circumstances surrounding the agency’s creation and activities.
ICPC Chairman, Musa Aliyu, said the discovery was made during investigations into the activities of the alleged fake Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council (PFIPC) and other breaches of government procedures.
The appointment letter released by Nwabueze is dated October 3, 2025, with reference number OSGF/MIN/59310/11/205. It was purportedly signed by Nadungu Gagare, identified in the document as Permanent Secretary, Political and Economic Affairs Office.
Titled “Appointment as National Coordinator and Executive Director Made in Nigeria Project Office,” the letter stated that Nwabueze had been appointed National Coordinator/Executive Director of the Made in Nigeria Project Office under the OSGF.
It said the appointment followed an assessment of his commitment, contribution and capacity to deliver on the mandate of the Special Project Office.
According to the document, the appointment was for a five-year tenure commencing from July 2025 and was renewable.
The letter assigned Nwabueze responsibility for overseeing the development of programmes, projects and policies, as well as supervising regional and state coordinators.
He was also expected to organise exhibitions, trade expos and economic summits aimed at promoting indigenous products and services and supporting economic development.
The document further stated that the project office was to operate from a temporary office at Room B53, Ground Floor, within the OSGF Complex.
It added that the appointment was subject to the pleasure of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation and was aligned with the objectives of the Made in Nigeria initiative under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
Meanwhile, TheCable reported that Nwabueze had also written to several state governments seeking the nomination of state coordinators for the purported Made in Nigeria Project Office.
The development comes as the Federal Government intensifies investigations into the circumstances surrounding the alleged agency and the individuals and officials connected with its operations.
