Just few days after commencing the rehabilitation of Mabushi township road, the Chairman of Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), Hon. Christopher Zakka Maikalangu, Tuesday, performed the ground breaking ceremony to mark the commencement for the rehabilitation of Gosa township road in the Council.
Speaking at the ground-breaking ceremony of the Gosa road project, Maikalangu said that, as a responsible government that adheres to the yearnings of the people, it is the responsibility of his administration to meet the needs and aspirations of the electorate, adding that AMAC residents will enjoy dividends of democracy and feel the impact of good governance within their various communities.
He said: “As a responsible government that responds to the yearnings of his people, we count it imperative to initiate this project to meet the demands and aspirations of the electorate within the benefiting community.
“In line with our vision and passion for my dear people of AMAC, I will continue to say it again that bringing rural renewal project, such as this, to our communities will enable residents to enjoy the dividends of democracy and feel the impact of good governance and prosperity, which we are committed to promote.
“I wish to emphasise here that this project conforms with the campaign promises we made before our election. We promise development, development and more development across the 12 electoral wards of the Council in the best interest of the people.
“I recall that during my election, I promised to run an open and inclusive government; an administration where citizens are entitled to contribute especially on areas of deciding on the type and form of projects they desired.
“In that regard, most of the projects we celebrate today, especially road construction, falls within the preferences of the largely disadvantaged rural communities.”
Speaking earlier, the Supervisory Councillor for Works, Hon. Dantani Zaudna, said the road is 1.4 kilometers in length and will help to encourage economic development of the community.
While showing his appreciation, the Hakimi of Gosa, Hakimi Ishaku Nana, said Maikalangu is a man who lives up to his words as he fulfilled his promise of rehabilitating the road just few weeks after visiting the community.
