…showcases massive projects across state
Governor Peter Mbah has set a target of growing Enugu State’s economy to $30 billion by 2031, attributing the ambition to the economic reforms of President Bola Tinubu and increased federal allocations that, according to him, have strengthened the capacity of subnational governments to drive development.
Speaking during a media chat on Tuesday as part of the second round of the Presidential Media Tour of projects in the South-East, Mbah said the scale of ongoing infrastructure expansion in Enugu reflects policy shifts at the federal level that have improved fiscal space for states to invest in critical sectors.
Mbah said the breadth of his administration’s investments in infrastructure, education, healthcare, security, aviation and urban renewal would have been difficult to achieve without the policy direction of the Federal Government.
“I think it would have been impossible, to say the least, for us to have done things at this scale indeed, without some of the bold and courageous policies of Mr President,” Mbah said.
