Enugu North Stakeholders Laud Mbah's Inclusive Governance and Project Distribution

Leaders and stakeholders from the Enugu North Senatorial District have made a clear statement of appreciation, visiting Governor Peter Mbah to commend his administration's transformative impact on the state and its commitment to inclusive leadership within their zone. Their visit was not driven by mere sentiment, but by a recognition of tangible achievements that are reshaping the region.

Central to their commendation was the historic appointment of Professor Simon Ortuanya as the first indigenous Vice Chancellor of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. This milestone is seen as a significant victory for the district, reflecting the governor's dedication to empowering local talent. Furthermore, the governor's decision to accord a state burial to the late Senator Okey Ezea, despite his affiliation with an opposition party, was hailed as a profound act of statesmanship that underscores a commitment to unity over political division.

Our solidarity is anchored not on empty rhetorics, but on visible, tangible achievements and evidence that cannot be denied.

The stakeholders meticulously detailed the governor's interventions, pointing to the significant upgrade of the State University of Medical and Applied Sciences (SUMAS), which now boasts a teaching hospital and has appointed 70 professors. This development is expected to revolutionize medical education and healthcare delivery. Beyond higher education, the district has benefited from the construction of 102 Smart Green Schools and 102 Type-2 Primary Healthcare Centres, surpassing allocations in other senatorial zones.

Infrastructure development is another cornerstone of Governor Mbah's achievements in Enugu North. The construction of modern transport hubs in Nsukka, the deployment of CNG buses, and ongoing road projects, including the dualization of key arteries like the Opi – Ugwuogo Nike – Abakpa Road and the Owo – Ubahu – Amankanu – Umualor – Ikem- Obollo Afor dual carriageway, are opening up economic corridors and enhancing connectivity. The near-completion of the Ama – Akama Oghe – Olo – Iwollo – Umulokpa road further integrates Uzo-Uwani into the state's economic fabric.

Beyond these visible projects, the stakeholders acknowledged the governor's role in facilitating federal appointments for Nsukka indigenes and his efforts to revitalize moribund state assets such as Nigergas and Hotel Presidential. The mention of flagship projects like the International Conference Centre and the New Enugu Smart City, alongside the execution or ongoing status of over 3,000 projects statewide, paints a picture of a governor delivering on an unprecedented scale. Their unequivocal support for his re-election bid is a testament to the widespread positive impact of his governance.
