What is Abuja Municipal Area Council?
The capital city of Nigeria, Abuja, is divided into 6 area councils namely Abaji, Gwari, Kuje, Gwagwalada, Kwali, and AMAC Area Councils. AMAC is short for Abuja Municipal Area Council and it is one of the local government areas in Abuja.
Abuja Municipal Area Council houses the Aso Rock Villa, the federal seat of power. Most of the embassies and federal ministries in Abuja are located within the Abuja Municipal Area Council. Out of all six area councils in Abuja, AMAC is the best. And when compared to other local government areas in Nigeria which has 774 local government areas, AMAC is one of the richest when it comes to revenue generation. It is also among the best-run local governments in Nigeria.
