Private Business Claims Linked to Permanent Secretary John Chidiebere Ezeamama in Violation of Code of Conduct for Civil Servants

**Permanent Secretary John Chidiebere Ezeamama Accused of Holding Private Business Interests**

*August 2026 – Abuja, Nigeria*

The *Secrets Reporters* investigative team has released a report alleging that Dr. John Chidiebere Ezeamama, the Permanent Secretary of the Cabinet Affairs Office in the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (OSG), holds interests in several private companies. The companies are said to operate in the energy, solar, healthcare, and general ventures sectors.

According to the report, public records reviewed by the team indicate that Ezeamama is listed as a shareholder or holds a controlling interest in multiple private enterprises. The allegations suggest that these business ties may violate the Code of Conduct for Civil Servants, which prohibits public officials from engaging in private business activities that could conflict with their official duties.

The *Secrets Reporters* article, published on August 2026, does not provide specific names of the companies or the extent of Ezeamama’s holdings. It also does not include any statements from Ezeamama or the OSG in response to the allegations.

The OSG has not yet issued a formal statement regarding the claims. The Nigerian Civil Service Commission has not announced any disciplinary action at this time.

The report has prompted calls from civil society groups for a transparent investigation into the alleged conflicts of interest. The OSG and the Nigerian Civil Service Commission are expected to respond to the allegations in the coming weeks.
