Babachir Lawal, former secretary to the government of the federation (SGF), says the office of the SGF should have detected and stopped any correspondence from an alleged non-existent federal agency before it reached President Bola Tinubu.
Lawal spoke on Monday during an interview on Arise Television while commenting on the controversy surrounding the alleged presidential foreign investment promotion council (PFIPC).
The presidency had described the PFIPC as a fictitious organisation after allegations emerged linking its promoter, Adeniyi Adeyemi, to bribery involving senior government officials.
