Education Revolution: Smart Schools and More!

From Civil Service State to Entrepreneurial Hub?
Forget being just a civil service state! Mbah envisions Enugu as an entrepreneurial powerhouse. Plans are underway to build structures and industries that will drive economic transformation. The goal? To reduce reliance on federal allocations and create a self-sustaining economy. A former Economic Adviser to the President, Prof. Osita Ogbu, even compared Mbah to transformative leaders from China, Malaysia, and Israel!
Boosting Security: Vigilantes and Community Involvement
Security is a top priority, and Mbah is taking action. A retired Major General in the Nigerian Army, Victor Ezeugwu, praised Mbah for listening to security experts and implementing their suggestions. This includes increasing salaries for local security personnel like vigilantes and addressing security issues in vulnerable areas like Uzo Uwani and Isi Uzo local government areas. It’s all about community involvement and proactive measures.
Challenges and the Road Ahead
While the praise is high, challenges remain. Issues in specific local government areas need continuous attention, and economic diversification requires sustained effort. The Enugu State Coalition for Progress is committed to supporting Mbah’s administration, ensuring that development remains the focus. The big question remains: Can Mbah’s vision truly transform Enugu into a model state for Nigeria?
The Bottom Line
Governor Peter Mbah is making waves in Enugu State with his focus on inclusive governance, education, and economic transformation. While challenges persist, the stakeholders in Enugu North are optimistic about the future. Keep an eye on Enugu – it might just be the state to watch in Nigeria!
