Three civil servants deployed from the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF) to the now-disbanded Public Finance and Investment Planning Commission (PFIPC) have shared details of their experiences, providing insight into the agency’s operations before it was shut down.
According to their statements to police investigators, the officials—Ojo Victor, Omeh Amarachukwu, and Wakili Saidu—have been listed as witnesses in the ongoing case involving the agency’s Director-General, Adeyemi.
The officials explained that their deployment followed a request allegedly sent by Adeyemi to the Accountant General of the Federation in April 2025, seeking personnel to fill key accounting and auditing positions within the agency.
A separate correspondence also reportedly requested the formal transfer of two officials from the Office of the Chief Economic Adviser to the President to the PFIPC for administrative purposes.
The three civil servants were officially deployed in late August 2025 and reported for duty after presenting their posting letters. However, they said they were instructed to resume a week later and, upon arrival, were simply assigned a shared office without receiving any responsibilities or official documentation.
In separate statements, the officials said they spent weeks without being assigned work or given any operational schedule. They described the situation as unusual, noting that they repeatedly reported to the office despite having no duties to perform.
One of the officers stated that he only visited the office once or twice weekly to maintain attendance, while another said he attended work on selected days because there were no assignments to justify daily presence. A third officer explained that the lack of responsibilities left the staff idle throughout their posting.
The witnesses also revealed that they had never heard of the PFIPC before receiving their deployment letters from the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation.
Their testimonies are expected to form part of the evidence in the ongoing investigation into the activities of the now-disowned agency and its leadership.
