Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State, at the weekend, inspected various major roads and other infrastructural projects executed by his administration, preparatory to their inauguration.

Some of the projects he inspected included the 40km Owo-Ubahu-Amankanu-Umualor-Neke-Ikem dual carriageway, 14.5km Amechi Idodo-Oruku-Amagunze Road, the New Enugu Smart City, and the Enugu International Hospital on Rangers Avenue, Enugu.

Mbah, who clocks three years as governor of Enugu State on 29th May, said the projects were part of the enablers being developed by his administration to power the state’s economy from a $4.4bn to a $30bn economy, as well as position the state as the premier destination for investment, business, tourism, and living, as he promised during the campaigns.

Speaking to newsmen during the inspection tour, he said, “We are just 600 metres away from the main road that takes you to Obollo Afor. That simply means this is a brand new gateway to the North.
