Governor Mbah unveiled this on Tuesday in Enugu when he laid the N971,84,000,000 budget proposal for the 2025 fiscal before the State House of Assembly.

“Enugu Airline will be launched a few weeks’ time so that our brothers coming for Christmas will fly by our own Airline,” he said.

The budget figure is against the N521,556,386,000 budgeted in 2024.

Speaking during the presentation ceremony at the Assembly Complex, Governor Mbah stated that the appropriation bill tagged: “Budget of Exponential Growth and Inclusive Prosperity,” will ensure development in every nook and cranny of the state.

Mbah said that the desired envisaged growth will be achieved by growing the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

“Our vision to grow our GDP is patently achievable. No citizen of this state need suffer poverty or penury. No segment of the state will be left out,” he said.

The governor disclosed that out of the proposed budget, Capital Expenditure will gulp N837,944,000,000.00 while N133,140,000,000.00 is budgeted as Recurrent Expenditure.

Out of the capital expenditure, the Recurrent Capital Expenditure will be N559,39,000,000.00.

Mbah announced that N692,179,000,000.00 revenue is expected to be generated from internally generated revenue (IGR), Value Added Tax (VAT) and grants.

The governor projected that the state will generate N74,924,000,000.00 from VAT alone, he projected N144,796,814,894.00 from IGR.

Governor Mbah added that his administration has high premium on education which he described as the fulcrum of development.

According to Mbah, the sum of N320,609,590,000.00 is earmarked for education in the 2025 budget proposal.

Mbah further said over N213,120,267,000 has been budgeted to be spent on roads and other infrastructure in the budget.

    OPEN LETTER TO SOUTHEAST SENATORS, HONOURABLE MEMBERS OF HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, OHANAEZE YOUTH COUNCIL

    OPEN LETTER TO SOUTHEAST SENATORS, HONORABLE MEMBERS OF HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, BY OHANAEZE YOUTH COUNCIL Distinguished Senators and Honorable House OF Reps members, GIVE US ANIOMA STATE FOR JUSTICE AND EQUITY. We respectfully solicit your backing and endorsement for the establishment of Anioma State, as a profound generational gift to the Igbo youths. Eminent Senators and Honorable Members of the Federal House of Representatives, National Assembly Abuja, the Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC), the leading socio-cultural youth organization of the Igbo Race globally, sincerely requests your thoughtful consideration and endorsement of the proposed Anioma State, a landmark gift to the rising new generation of Igbo origin. Throughout our lives, we have witnessed and endured tribal exclusion, political disenfranchisement, and economic marginalization in Nigeria, giving rise to an unyielding awareness of the profound inequalities and injustices that challenge our sense of belonging within Nigeria. During our examination of the marginalization of Igbos, we found nothing, but surprisingly, Ndigbo are the most detribalized in Nigeria, having rebounded from the 1966-1970 genocide with just £20 and subsequently become leading contributors to business success and infrastructure development across Nigeria’s 36 states and Abuja. We have worn the cloak of marginalization for 56 years, with the SouthEast Geopolitical Zone still having limited representation in the Senate, Federal House of Representatives and number of states. Since the inception of Nigeria’s democratic dispensation in 1999, the emergence of the Movement for the Actualization of the State of Biafra (MASSOB) marked a significant turning point. Are you aware that the persistent political inequality in the South-East Zone ultimately reignited the quest for Biafra among all pro-Biafra groups, including the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB)? We acknowledge that National Assembly members representing the SouthEast should align their decisions with the overall interests of the SouthEast and Ndigbo. In light of renewed discussions on creating another state in the SouthEast at the National Assembly, the Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC) undertook broad-based consultations with Southeast and Igbo youth, yielding a consensus of 98% in support of Anioma’s creation as presented by Dist. Sen. Prince Chinedu Nwoko as Igbo illustrious Son. Esteemed Senators and Honorable Members of the Federal House of Representatives, I bring to your remembrance the poignant sacrifice of the Anioma people, who lost over 3000 lives, predominantly men, for the preservation of Nigeria’s unity. We appeal to you to transcend personal political divides and endorse the Igbo youth’s plea for the establishment of Anioma State, as an act of healing and recognition of Anioma’s sacrifices, particularly during the October 1967 Osowa Ogbe Square Asaba massacre It’s a supreme sacrifice Anioma people paid for Nigeria Unity, it’s therefore a little sacrifice for us to support them for a new Anioma State. Amiable Senators and Honorable Members of the Federal House of Representatives, the longstanding quest for justice and equity for Ndigbo in Nigeria’s political landscape can be effectively addressed through the creation of Anioma State, a goal for justice and equity pursued for over 56 years. A fundamental principle in Nigeria’s Geopolitical Zone creation was consolidating states and peoples sharing a common cultural heritage within one zone. Regrettably, Ndigbo was disadvantaged in this arrangement. Your endorsement of Anioma State’s creation will be acknowledged as a pivotal step in rectifying this political anomaly affecting Ndigbo, thereby addressing their long-standing appeal for Equity and Justice. Those of you experiencing discomfort due to insecurity in the Southeast should recognize that announcing the creation of Anioma State as one more state to SouthEast Geopolitical Zone will be a pivotal step towards addressing the marginalization that fueled secessionist agitation in SouthEast. The Igbo youths are predominantly disgruntled, primarily due to the inadequate representation of their interests at the federal level. Consequently, the creation of Anioma State emerges as a…
