A group, Empowerment for Unemployed Youths Initiative, has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to review the Federal Government’s commitments to the Abuja Centenary City project which it described as a fraud conceived to undermine the national economy.
According to the group, among the abuses was the relocation of a military base at the cost of N2 billion to the government for the purpose of accommodating the privately owned project.
In a petition to the president, the group listed former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) Senator Anyim Pius Anyim as a facilitator of the project who used his powers to the benefit of the privately-owned scheme to the detriment of the nation.
The petition was signed by Solomon Adodo, the national coordinator and Sulieman Musa, the national secretary.
