Peter Mbah, governor of Enugu State, has said that his administration was working round the clock to expand access to clean and safe water for every household across the state.

Mbah stated this on Friday at the grand finale of the Enugu Water Sustainability Summit (EWSS) 2026, held at the International Conference Centre, Enugu.

The summit, organised by the Enugu State Ministry of Water Resources in collaboration with development partners, had the theme: ‘Water for All: Driving Innovation for Water Equality, Sustainability and Resilience.’

The summit brought together government officials, development partners, private sector, academia, civil society organisations and young innovators to explore practical solutions for sustainable water supply and improved Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) services in the state.

Mbah represented by Chidiebere Onyia the Secretary to the State Government, said access to clean water remained a top priority of his administration, describing it as a fundamental right rather than a privilege.
