The Executive Chairman of the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), Christopher Maikalangu, has reaffirmed his administration’s unwavering commitment to inclusive and sustainable development across all wards of the Council.
Speaking when some stakeholders paid him a solidarity visit at his residence on Wednesday, Maikalangu emphasised that his administration remains focused on unlocking the full potential of every AMAC community through deliberate investments in critical infrastructure.
He noted that priority areas include the provision of clean water, improved road networks, and rural electrification, aimed at creating an enabling environment for local enterprise, improved living standards, and overall community growth.
“These projects are not just about construction,” he stated. “They are about building a strong foundation for sustainable development and a better future for our people.”
The Chairman expressed profound gratitude to residents for their continued support and cooperation since he assumed office.
“I sincerely thank all those who have stood by this administration, the progress recorded in road construction, primary healthcare delivery, education, solar-powered boreholes, and skills acquisition programmes would not have been possible without your patience, trust, and goodwill. Your confidence remains the greatest resource that fuels our resolve to serve”, Maikalangu said.
Maikalangu also appreciated traditional rulers, party members, and community leaders for their steadfast contributions to peace and governance within the Council.
“I must specially acknowledge our royal fathers for their wisdom and guidance in maintaining peace across our communities,” he said. “To our party faithful, statesmen, and grassroots leaders ,your commitment and belief in our vision for a greater AMAC have been instrumental to our achievements”, he said.
Reaffirming his pledge to equitable development, the Chairman assured that no community would be left behind. He promised accelerated completion of ongoing projects, including water supply schemes and the installation of solar-powered streetlights, which have enhanced security and revitalized economic activity at night.
He urged residents to take ownership of public facilities and protect them against vandalism, emphasizing that these assets belong to the people and are vital for continued progress.
“Let us remain united and work together to safeguard the dividends of democracy we are witnessing,” he appealed.
However, Maikalangu expressed optimism about the future of AMAC.
“Our journey toward making AMAC a model of grassroots development is on course,” he affirmed. “We will not rest until every promise is fulfilled and every community potential is unlocked. In the coming months, we look forward to commissioning more projects that will transform lives”, he added.
