President Muhammadu Buhari may investigate Anyim Pius Anyim, ex-secretary to the government of the federation, over the Centenary City project in the Federal Capital Territory.
An Ohaneze Ndigbo Christian Youths in Diaspora group has called on the president to investigate the whole project, supposing that Anyim acquired shares by proxy against civil service rules.
The group issued a petition by its president general in which said Centenary City, from Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) records, is partially preserved by Company First Limited represented by Esther Onoji and Basic Start Limited represented by Jennifer Onah, whom he defined as Anyim’s assistants.
He supposed that other directors of Centenary City did not have a single share under their names.
“The scheme of declaring the Centenary City as a Free Trade Zone is to give waiver to the owner which has been robbing Nigerian government of revenue,” the leader of the group said.
According to him Anyim acquired property in Abuja, comprising a four-star hotel, against public service rules, and begged the president to probe the accusations.
The project, whose base stone was put by ex-president Goodluck Jonathan in June 2014, is defined as a private sector-led project to build a cool city like Dubai, Monaco or Singapore.
It has 12.6 square kilometres and is provided a free trade zone status, with only 20% owed to residential.
