“I had to pay N400 million for the facilitation of that project to show my strength that I would be able to handle the project,” he said. Collins testified that Adeyemi subsequently requested N400 million as proof of the company’s financial capacity and to facilitate mobilisation for the contract. He appealed to the lawmakers to help recover the N400 million from Adeyemi. Adeyemi has also claimed he borrowed N400 million to secure his appointment as PFIPC DG and that his creditors later reported him to the EFCC. During the ongoing investigation, several government officials have raised concerns over the processes that led to the recognition of the PFIPC.
