Only (7) Bouygues construction is here in Nigeria and because they cannot bribe like JB Nig Ltd, they are not getting good jobs. The only laudable project am aware bouygues handle was construction Abuja National Stadium and game village for COJA All African Game that brought them to these country. 1 Like |
