By Joyce Remi-Babayeju

The Abuja Municipal Area Council, AMAC, Chairman, Hon. Christopher Zakka Maikalangu has appealed to the FCT Minister, Barr. Nyesom Wike to create access roads in communities in the Council.

Maikalangu made this appeal on Friday at the Stakeholders’ Engagement on security in the territory.

He said, “On this note, we are appealing for your intervention to create access roads to the following communities: Ketti access road, Takushara access road, Burum access road and Gidan Kwano access road, Leka access road, Kutasa, for the safety of the people.”

The AMAC Chairman also appealed for the siting of a police station at Takushara community.

“Furthermore, I want to use this privilege to appeal to you Sir, to please establish a police division within Takushara axis, hence it will provide security presence in all the surrounding communities.”

Maikalangu recounted the losses in a community before the assumption, the minister in office said, ‘ we lost the village head of Ketti community and some residents in the hands of these kidnappers.

He explained that insurgent activities in the neighboring states of Niger, Kogi, Kaduna and Nasarawa and some other states, led to an upsurge of migration of people into FCT . Thereby causing increased serious criminal activities in our rural areas and the city center.
The Chairman, however, applauded the minister for initiating the FCT Ministerial Taskforce, which is yielding positive results, adding that the activities of the task force have helped to reduce the rate of crime in the territory.

“It will interest you to know that if communities such as Kabusa, Ketti, Gbawu and other communities that have become kidnappers’ hideouts, are accessible by security agencies, the rate of crime would have been adequately addressed”, he stated.

Maikalangu hailed Wike for transformation in the Council and the FCT as a whole since taking over as the minister of the FCT.
