A pressure group, Concerned Nigerian Network in Diaspora, has faulted former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s criticism of the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway project.
It described the criticism as baseless.
The group’s President, CNND, James Erebuoye, stated this in an interview with journalists on Wednesday in Abuja.
Mr Abubakar had alleged that the project was embarked upon because of business ties between President Bola Tinubu and Gilbert Chagoury, the owner of the Hitech Construction Company.
But Mr Erebuoye said that there was no iota of truth in the claim.
He said that Nigerians should focus on the capabilities, integrity and service delivery of the company rather than some mundane issues.
Mr Erebuoyo, also the president, Rebuild Nigeria Movement Worldwide, advised Nigerians to consider the company’s credibility and service delivery capabilities regardless of its ownership.
