As part of efforts to promote grassroots development and strengthen partnership with the media, the Chairman of the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) Hon. Christopher Maikalangu has donated a borehole to the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), FCT Council. 

Maikalangu made the pledge when he received the Chairman of NUJ FCT Council, Comrade Grace Ike, who paid him a congratulatory courtesy visit following his victory in last Saturday’s municipal elections.

Ike, who was represented by the Vice Chairman of Council, Yahaya Ndambabo, appreciated the warm reception and the borehole donated to NUJ, describing it as a demonstration of the chairman-elect’s commitment to grassroots development and media collaboration.

He congratulated Maikalangu on 'a well-deserved landslide victory', noting that the outcome reflected the confidence reposed in him by residents of AMAC.

Ndambabo highlighted the infrastructural projects executed during Maikalangu’s first term, particularly in Sabon Lugbe and other communities, reaffirming the NUJ FCT council’s role in providing coverage and monitoring of elections across AMAC and five other area councils in the FCT.

"This well-deserved victory reflects your people-oriented leadership, now further demonstrated by this generous donation to the NUJ FCT council," Ndambabo said, urging the chairman-elect to consolidate on his achievements in his second term.

Maikalangu thanked the journalists  for the visit and for its consistent media support. He attributed his re-election to grassroots engagement, infrastructure development, and empowerment initiatives that resonated with voters.

"Politics is local; it is about the people at the grassroots, not just the city centres," he said, adding that his first-term projects laid the foundation for renewed public trust.

He also commended the unity within the All Progressives Congress (APC), saying that strong grassroots mobilisation contributed significantly to the high voter turnout recorded in the elections.

The chairman said that the donation underscored his commitment to collaborative development and sustained engagement with critical stakeholders, including the media.
