The Young Progressives Party (YPP) has unveiled its governance blueprint for the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), pledging a “people-first” approach to local administration ahead of the Feb. 21 Area Council elections in the Federal Capital Territory.

The YPP chairmanship candidate for AMAC, Robert Madaki, presented the plan during the official inauguration of the YPP campaign on Saturday in Abuja.

Madaki said his “10 Pillars of AMAC Transformation” are grouped for clarity and effective implementation, focusing on administrative reform, accountability, security, and inclusive development, among other priorities.

According to him, a key component of the blueprint is “right staffing,” which involves a comprehensive review of AMAC’s administrative structure to improve efficiency, service delivery, and financial sustainability. (NAN)

Madaki said: “This blueprint speaks to the fact that we are setting up a system that will make AMAC profitable. There are certain statutory services that only AMAC offers, which are not provided by any other organization.

“The idea is to evolve an administrative structure within AMAC that empowers the current staff to handle these responsibilities with greater efficiency.

“The other area addresses the restructuring of the entire ecosystem around AMAC to ensure that the presence of the local government is felt. There are too many ‘ungoverned spaces’ in AMAC—areas where the local administration is currently non-existent.” (NAN)
