PFIPC scandal: I did not allocate office, deploy workers to Adeyemi – Head of Service

The Head of Service of the Federation, Didi Esther Walson-Jack, on Wednesday clarified that she did not allocate office space or authorize deployment of staff to the Presidential Foreign Investment Promotion Council, PFIPC, headed by purported Director General, Adeyemi Adeniyi.

Walson-Jack also clarified that her office did not issue any organization structure to the PFIPC under Adeyemi.

She made this known while appearing before the House of Representatives hearing on the PFIPC scandal.

The Head of Service said, “I was here earlier and all that we said we still stand by what we said but I do believe that a few more details will clarify these issues.

“We are happy to state that all that we said regarding the issue of deployment, I just summarized that there was no deployment; the issues as regards office accommodation, we did not give office accommodation; the issues as regards organizational structure, we did not issue any organizational structure.

“The issue that I believe we need to clarify is the issue of unauthorized establishment and the issuance of a recruitment waiver. And so if you kindly indulge me I would like to take that portion that we have not earlier stated and I will also give some more details explanation.”
