The Chairman, Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), Mr Christopher Maikalangu, has commended President Bola Tinubu’s approval to establish a Federal Polytechnic at Gwarinpa, in the Federal Capital Territory.
Maikalangu made the commendation in a statement in Abuja on Tuesday by AMAC Special Assistant on Media and Public Affairs, Mr Kingsley Madaki.
He described the development as a milestone for education in the FCT.
He said the approval of the institution was a testament to the administration’s commitment to democracy and inclusivity.
He highlighted the transformative impact this institution would have on education and development in the region, aligning with Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
He also praised the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, for remembering FCT indigenes after decades of neglect.
He further expressed gratitude for the appointment of an indigene of FCT as a minister, which he described as historic.
“For the first time in history, an FCT native, Mr Zaphaniah Bitrus Jisalo, who served as a two-term member representing AMAC/Bwari Constituency in the House of Representatives, is appointed as the Minister of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs.
“Since President Tinubu assumed office, the indigenous people of FCT have been enjoying dividends of democracy in different forms, something hitherto unheralded about 33 years ago.
“I am particularly grateful to my mentor, Wike, Mr Projects, for making it possible for us to enjoy dividends of democracy under the present administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“We have not had it this good before as Mr Projects has given a facelift to the FCT and also it is a source of joy to my people in AMAC.
“The records are there as he has been carrying out different projects for the development of the FCT. You can see that the roads are freer now because of the road projects all over the FCT,” he said.
The AMAC boss further reiterated the continued support of the indigenes for President Tinubu to succeed. (NAN)
