'How Fake Made-in-Nigeria Agency Tricked Us' - Anambra Govt

The agency had requested a state focal person and a December fair before officials learned it was fake and non-existent, Nnake said.

  • The Anambra State Government revealed it was tricked into hosting a fair by the newly exposed, non-existent Made-in-Nigeria Agency, which officials had believed operated under the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.
  • In February 2026, Governor Chukwuma Soludo nominated Mrs Chiamaka Nnake, Secretary to the Anambra State Government, as State Focal Person following a request from the Made-in-Nigeria Office.
  • Focal Persons from 36 states joined a WhatsApp group coordinating agency activities, while the State Committee prepared for the South-East Made-in-Nigeria Fair scheduled for December 2 to 5, 2026.
  • Following her photograph's viral appearance, Mrs Chiamaka Nnake released a formal statement clarifying her role, stating her involvement was limited to official interactions with no knowledge of other developments.
  • Since the exposure of the fake agency, the State Committee has halted fair preparations, while questions mount regarding the National Coordinator who attended an inaugural meeting about two weeks ago.
