Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has enjoined the people of the state to take ownership of his administration’s achievements in the last three years, noting that change endures when citizens ensure the consolidation of every progress made.
Highlighting projects and progress made under the “Tomorrow is Here” philosophy since 2023, Mbah, however, said his administration’s achievements could not be understood simply as a collection of projects.
He explained that the government was “rebuilding the operating system of this state and a different future is being constructed layer by layer – economically, culturally, and institutionally.”
Mbah, who spoke at a thanksgiving Mass held at Government House Chapel in Enugu to mark the third anniversary of his administration, noted that it would amount to a lost opportunity should the state revert to its socioeconomic conditions before the current administration.
He said, “Imagine waking up tomorrow and finding yourself back in the Enugu of three years ago. The roads are broken again. Gridlock clutters the junctions. Mondays fall silent under sit-at-home orders. Shops close. Businesses retreat indoors. Public transport becomes stressful and exhausting again. Schools drift further behind the modern world. Healthcare centres struggle to meet basic needs. Hotel Presidential slips back into decay. Rural communities remain cut off by weak infrastructure and poor connectivity.
