In commemoration of one-year milestone of Governor Peter Mbah's administration, the Enugu State Commissioner for Children, Gender Affairs, and Social Development, Hon. Mrs. Ngozi Enih in the mood of celebration, highlights the transformative impact his leadership has had across various sectors, including child rights protection, security, health, road infrastructure, education etc.
Hon. Mrs. Enih praised Governor Mbah for his innovative approach to governance, which has brought about significant improvements in the lives of Enugu State residents. She particularly emphasized the Governor's dedication to child rights and welfare, quoting him: "Children are an essential part of our society and without them, there will not be transition to a greater tomorrow. They mirror the outlook of our future, and the tomorrow."
"Governor Mbah and the First Lady, Her Excellency Mrs. Nkechinyere Mbah, have shown an unwavering commitment to ensuring that the rights of children are safeguarded. From the onset of his administration, efforts have been made to eradicate domestic violence, child labor, child trafficking, and malnutrition. The administration has also provided numerous scholarships and conducted rescue operations to ensure that no child is left behind due to their family background"
"The Governor’s passion for education is evident in his initiative to build 260 smart schools across the 260 wards in the state. Hon. Mrs. Enih applauded this initiative, stating, "Education is the foundation of a productive life and meaningful existence. The Governor's commitment to the education, welfare, safety, and rights of our children is demonstrated by allocating over 33% of this fiscal year's budget to their education and wellbeing."
"Governor Mbah has also fulfilled his campaign promise of making water available within 180 days, an achievement that has significantly improved the quality of life for residents. In the health sector, the ongoing construction of 260 type-2 primary healthcare centers in all 260 wards demonstrates his dedication to improving healthcare accessibility and quality"
"Security has also been a priority, with the Governor enhancing economic activities and providing vehicles to the Distress Response Squad (DRS) for effective policing. Additionally, the ongoing construction of new roads and resurfacing of old ones aim to meet the ambitious goal of 10,000 kilometers of roads, greatly improving transportation infrastructure"
"Economic development has not been neglected, with a ₦100 billion investment in partnership with Pragmatic Palm Limited to revive the moribund Enugu State United Palm Products. The redesigning of the 5,000-capacity international conference center, which includes a 5-star hotel, is another testament to the Governor’s vision for a modern and prosperous Enugu State, just to name but a few"
