The fake appointment letter of Adeniyi Adeyemi Mathew did not originate from The Presidency: ICPC Chairman Dr. Musa Adamu Aliyu, SAN
At a press conference in Abuja today, ICPC Chairman reveals the findings of the agency probe of Adeyemi Matthew, the fake DG of fictitious PFIPC:
“Recall the President on 7th July, 2026 gave ICPC 30 days to investigate into the fake Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council and today is exactly 30 days. I have just submitted the interim report and briefed Mr. President accordingly.
- The President took the right decision in the spirit of transparency and accountability and directed me to address the media for the benefit of Nigerians.
- Flowing from the interim report
- It has been established that Adeniyi Adeyemi Mathew was never appointed by the Federal Government or any authority of the government.
- The PFIPC was never established by any law or executive order or other valid instrument of government.
- The appointment letter presented by Adeniyi Adeyemi Mathew was completely forged alongside similar documents used to perpetuate the illegal activities of the fake agency.
- The PFIPC cannibalized the former Presidential Economic Advisory Council (PEAC) and illegally appropriated offices and instruments of operation.
- False projection, false representation, wide spread impersonation and a wide range of illegal activities were perpetrated by the fake DG of the fake agency Adeniyi Adeyemi.
- The interim report found that weaknesses in verification, interagency oversight and government processes was exploited by Adeyemi Adeniyi with some level of negligence and connivance.
- Our investigation found that no fund of the Federal Government was approved or disbursed to the fake PFIPC/PEAC
- That no weaknesses were found in the systems of the State House or CBN and the processes are above board.
- The fake appointment letter of Adeniyi Adeyemi Mathew did not originate from The Presidency;
- The ICPC discovered Adeyemi Adeniyi created two additional fictitious government agencies namely:-
(a) FCT Investment Promotion Agency (FIFA)
(b) Foreign Investment Promotion Agency and Public Private Partnership (FIFA-PPP)
To facilitate their creation he forged legislative instrument styled as Enabling Acts and used them to support the opening of Bank Accounts.
Some of the recommendations
- He should be fully prosecuted
- Administrative sanctions be imposed on public officers whose acts of omission and negligence facilitated the illegal operations of PFIPC/PEAC.
- Institutional reforms have been recommended by the ICPC.
There is an ongoing investigation into all activities, bank accounts of PFIPC, Adeniyi Adeyemi Adeyemi and his collaborators.”
