“We want to come together to have a synergy  as partners in progress to move AMAC forward. This is a new administration to build a better AMAC that can be able to pay workers salaries as of when do and also take developmental project to our rural communities. And this can only be made possible if our revenue base is strong.

“We cannot continue to do things in this same way of the former  administrations and expect a different  result. On this note today 6th October 2022 all partners generating revenue on-behalf of Abuja municipal area council are here by dissolve. I therefore,  thank you for the job you have done for the  council in the past

“We are going to reconsider or reengage those technical partners who have perform excellently  in the past years of engagement. Those who worked hard for the council.  that is why we asked you to come with your statement of accounts because tomorrow. if the EFCC or ICPC come to the council  it may be difficult for me to defend what I do not know. This administration cannot condole illegality. From  today any technical partner are go to  engage must adhere to our new policy direction as far as revenue  generation is concerned

“We have provided new AMAC  account for revenue  generation it is 65% for AMAC and 35% for the  technical partners and all the monies meant for the council should be paid to the new councils account and an individual or any company account. So we have concluded plans to write to  the commissioner of police to arrest any person claiming to be engaged by AMAC by any past administration.
