The Enugu State Governor, Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, on Thursday, 29th May, recounted his achievements during his 2 years in office.
At the event, which witnessed a mammoth crowd at the Okpara Square in Enugu metropolis, Dr. Mbah reiterated his administration’s vision: to lay the foundations for a prosperous Enugu, built on access, equity, and excellence.
Some of the significant achievements are: over 800 kilometres of roads built, 5 ultra-modern transport terminals—Holy Ghost Terminals 1 and 2, Gariki, Abakpa, and Nsukka Terminals—constructed and ready to be commissioned.
Others include allocating 33 percent of the budget to education, construction of 260 Smart Green Schools equipped with digital whiteboards, science labs, and solar-powered learning spaces, and 260 Primary Healthcare Centres across every ward.
Governor Mbah further reveals that the internally generated revenue has grown by over 600 percent, and many moribund assets are currently being refurbished.
In the transportation sector, 200 CNG buses and 2000 city taxis are purchased, even as ticketing technology is introduced to ease transport costs for families.
“In just two years, we have begun to rewire the foundation of Enugu State for future promise. We have constructed over 800 kilometers of roads, opening access to farms, markets, industry, schools, and hospitals.”
“To date, we have delivered five ultra-modern terminals across the state: Holy Ghost Terminal 1 for interstate travel with a skybridge to Terminal 2; Holy Ghost Terminal 2 for intra-city transport; Gariki Terminal; Abakpa Terminal; and Nsukka Terminal – all ready to be commissioned.”
“We have allocated 33 percent of our budget to education alone, surpassing even global benchmarks, because we believe that our future is forged in classrooms. Soon, we will begin the rollout of 260 Smart Green Schools, equipped with digital whiteboards, science labs, and solar-powered experiential learning spaces.”
“Alongside this, we are building 260 fully equipped Primary Healthcare Centres across every ward, each designed with staff quarters, solar panels, and clean water. No mother in Enugu should ever again fear childbirth due to distance or neglect.”
“We launched a state-of-the-art Command and Control Centre, deploying 150 AI-enabled security patrol vehicles, and witnessed the decline in violent crime, making it possible again for citizens to travel, trade, and sleep in peace.”
“On the side of the economy, we have increased our internally generated revenue (IGR) by over 600 per cent, revived moribund assets, launched investment drives, and improved our ease of doing business while laying the groundwork for agro-industrial systems that will feed, employ, and empower our people.
“We have equally created 300,000 hectares of Landbank to be leased to large-scale commercial farmers, while establishing 200 hectares of Farm Estate in all the 260 wards in the state to scale up agricultural production across the value chain, both for export and the local market.”
“We have completed the Enugu International Conference Centre, giving our state a place on the global stage. We launched Enugu Air, a bold venture that will transform Enugu into a globally-connected economic powerhouse.”
“We have conceived a radical overhaul of our transport system, procuring 200 CNG buses and 2,000 city taxis. Our ticketing technology will significantly reduce transport costs for families,” he added.
Meanwhile, Senator Jim Nwobodo, former Governor of the old Anambra state, applauds Governor Mbah for the visible achievements, saying, “Mbah has done well in building and transforming the state. What I can tell you today is that no other state has done what Enugu has done. For me, you are going to continue to be our governor. Everyone knows you are doing well.”
Also, a business mogul, Engr. Arthur Eze applauded Mbah, describing him as God’s gift to Igbo land and Nigeria at large.
Some other dignitaries present include the Enugu State Deputy Governor, Barr. Ifeanyi Ossai; Rt. Hon. Uche Ugwu, Speaker, Enugu State House of Assembly; Hon. Nnoli Nnaji of the House of Representatives; Local Government Chairmen, amongst others.
