The MD called on Staff to redouble their efforts in reaching out to the thousands of business operators and residents of the Area Council, who keep requesting for areas of knowledge to expand their businesses.

Represented by the Desk Officer in charge of the Programme at AEA, Mrs. Chidinma Nduka, the MD informed newsmen that Kuje was a huge embodiment of prospects for success of business operators in the Area Council.

He noted the positive reaction of residents of the Area Council to the initiative from the FCT Administration through the Agency.

The MD expressed satisfaction with the participation and enthusiasm exhibited by the residents of the Area Council.
