He added that AMML would also introduce a facility management software that would allow management of the company to know the status of every shop under its purview.
He explained that the initiative was part of efforts to adopt technology in the management of market facilities in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) for efficiency.
According to him, the goal is to ensure effective and efficient management of markets across the FCT.
“Currently, we are about to inaugurate an automated toll collection system in Garki Market, which we hope to replicate in other markets where we collect toll.
“This will ensure that time spent driving in and out of the market was reduced to the barest minimum.
“Also, we have a registry where the files and biodata of all the traders we are managing are kept. We are about to upload the data online for people to access with just a click.’’
The managing director also said that the management would equally introduce Abuja Multipurpose Traders Cooperative to make resources available to traders.
Ojiji explained that AMML was established in 2004 and began operation in 2005 in a bid to have a proper structure and systems for markets in the FCT.
Speaking on the 20th anniversary, Ojiji said that the event was a celebration, not just of success, but of dedication, resilience, and the collective spirit that drives the company forward.
Also, Mr Innocent Amaechina, Head of Operations, AMML, said that the company would continue to collaborate with stakeholders and sensitise residents on new changes in the markets.
