The Abuja Metropolitan Management Council (AMMC) has expressed commitment to partnering with the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) FCT Council on infrastructural development in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

This was disclosed when the FCT Council chairperson, Ms Grace Ike, led her executive team on a courtesy visit to the AMMC coordinator, Chief Felix Amaechi Obuah.

Obuah, while welcoming members of the NUJ FCT, expressed his readiness to collaborate with the council having recognised the vital role the media plays in informing the public on activities of AMMC which is helping the agency to ensure full compliance with the FCT master plan.

“I welcome you and your team to our corporate office today. I have listened to you and I just have to say that, I am indeed very happy to partner with the NUJ FCT. We need to partner together to be able to achieve our core and corporate mandate, and in partnering together, we support each other and grow together and educate the public, so as to attain infrastructural development in the FCT in line with the master plan of the nation’s capital city.

“Even though I am a bit handicapped to make any promises because of budgetary constraints, but in the subsequent budget, I assure you that whatever we can do to help your dream come true for NUJ and your members, the agency will do everything humanly possible to contribute their quota to the growth of the union in line with the FCT master plan,” he said.

Earlier, Ms Ike, thanked Chief Obuah for receiving her team and commended the AMMC coordinator for the effective management and coordination of municipal services as well as infrastructural development in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
