“We note the ongoing construction of 260 Smart Green School Projects as well as 260 ultramodern Type 2 Primary Healthcare Centres across the 260 wards of Enugu State, 

the completion of the magnificent Enugu International Conference Centre, the Nodsra Tractor Assembly and Service Centre, and the ongoing road infrastructure projects across the state.

“We equally note with delight what he has done in the area of security where he invested in the state-of-the-art Enugu Command and Control Centre and over 150 security vehicles all installed with AI-embedded cameras that keep the state under surveillance, thus making Enugu one of the safest states today. Since his assumption of office, Monday Sit-At-Home in Enugu has become history.

“Equally, we note with pride how the Enugu State Government revolutionized the Nigerian Electricity sector by being the first state to setup its own Electricity Regulatory arm – the Enugu State Electricity Regulatory Commission and subsequently reducing electricity tariff in the state

The pan-Igbo body equally urged residents to support the Mbah initiative by taking ownership of the facilities and use them most responsibly.

It is recalled that Mbah, recently commissioned the terminals and 200 CNG buses which, he said were in line with his administration vision to grow the state’s economy from $4.4 billion to $30 billion.
