How PFIPC was created — Accountant‑General

Appearing before the House of Representatives Ad Hoc Committee probing the PFIPC scandal, Ogunjimi said his office first came in contact with the council in November 2024, when it received a correspondence that appeared to originate from the State House. The letter, dated November 7, 2024 and bearing a State House reference, requested the creation of an administrative code for the PFIPC to enable budgeting, accounting and financial reporting.

PFIPC scandal Babachir Lawal questions budget code

Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation Babachir Lawal has raised fresh concerns over the scandal involving the so called Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council PFIPC.
