ELECTIONS ARE OVER, JOIN ME TO DO MORE – Gov MBAH BEGS OPPOSITION

The Governor of Enugu State, Peter Mbah, has appealed to opposition parties to join his administration’s effort to transform the state.

Governor Mbah said President Bola Tinubu‘s state visit to the state on Saturday to commission some projects was an acknowledgment of his government’s efforts.

Speaking at the commissioning events, Mbah stated that the projects reflected his vision to grow the economy of the state to $30 billion.

Among the projects commissioned were 30 completed Enugu Smart Green Schools out of 260 under construction, 60 equipped Type 2 Primary Healthcare Centres across 260 wards, the Enugu International Conference Centre, a hub for global engagement, 90 newly completed urban roads to ease mobility in our cities, and a state-of-the-art Command and Control Centre with 150 AI-embedded patrol vehicles for enhanced security.

“The President’s acknowledgment of our efforts underscores the essence of our mission. From our investments in education, healthcare, and infrastructure to bolstering security, we are laying a solid foundation for a prosperous Enugu State.

“These projects reflect our vision to grow Enugu’s economy from $4.4 billion to $30 billion within the next eight years. It is a responsibility we owe to our dear people of Enugu State.

“Security is key to this vision. Our AI-driven surveillance network and the Distress Response Squad have redefined safety across the state. This initiative guarantees peace of mind, ensuring our streets and neighbourhoods remain safe for residents and investors alike,” he said.

The Governor of Enugu State, Peter Mbah, assured residents of the state of his commitment to providing good governance.

“I want to assure my dear Ndi Enugu that this is just the beginning. As a government, we shall continue to build the Enugu of our dreams, a hub of opportunity, service delivery, and economic excellence.

“I wholeheartedly echo the President’s call that the elections are behind us and now is the time to unite and drive our nation forward. Regardless of political affiliations, we can build an Enugu State as well as a Nigeria that serves and uplifts everyone,” Mbah added.

    WHY WE’RE IN A HURRY TO DEVELOP ENUGU STATE – GOV MBAH

    WHY WE’RE IN A HURRY TO DEVELOP ENUGU STATE – GOVERNOR MBAH Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State says he is in a hurry to develop and transform the state because of the pressing circumstances in the various sectors, and called for the continued commitment on the part of the workers and the people of the state.While thanking the people of Enugu State for their support, he noted that the only way to reciprocate their love and faith in his administration was by redoubling the ongoing development effort.Mbah spoke on Monday during a holy mass at the Government House Chapel, Enugu, to formally mark the beginning of another work year.“Your support and dedication to duty are largely responsible for the modest achievements we have accomplished in 2024. The only way we will continue to demonstrate our gratitude is to double down on the pursuit of our goals to make Enugu state the premier destination for business, investment, tourism, and living.“But we are going to do that without leaving anyone out and not at the expense of our common humanity. We will continue to deliver inclusive governance. Our governance model is one that recognises even our grassroots to ensure that growth is happening all across the state,” he stated.While acknowledging the concerns of those who felt his administration was doing too many things at the same time, Mbah said that was the only way to go, given the prevailing and monumental challenges.“We do know that some may be wondering whether the change that is unfolding in Enugu is sustainable and whether we are not moving so fast.“But think about it, can we really push to a later date all the critical policies and projects we are implementing today? And the need for us to have portable water in every home cannot be deemed more compelling than the need for us to ensure that our children are exposed to the skill set that prepares them for 21st century work place.“If you look at the challenges we have in the health space, you will see that we are trying to get our healthcare system functional. That need is also not what we can push to a later date.“We have to ensure that our roads are paved, devoid of portholes. We have to revive our industries. We also have to ensure that we introduce modern transportation systems. There is none of these we felt we could push to a later day,” he said.While also thanking the people for trooping out in their numbers to warmly receive President Bola Tinubu, who was in Enugu at the weekend to commission already completed projects, he assured that more projects would be delivered in 2025.“We are already in optimism that this year holds so much promises for us. Imagine that in few months, by September, the doors of our Smart Green Schools will open to all the children in this state.“We are already excited about the International Conference Centre that was commissioned a few days ago. But also, in few days time, we are also going to be relaunching and reopening the Hotel Presidential.“I do not even want to talk about the 340 bed 5-star hotel that is billed to open in May this year at the International Conference Centre. It is also this year that we will see our 300-bed Enugu International Hospital on Rangers become operational.“We will keep delivering the remaining of the 260 Primary Healthcare Centres we are currently building, one in each ward. But it is not just about the building; it is also making sure that they are well-staffed to provide 24/7 healthcare services. This is why we approved the recruitment of over 2,500 medical personnel. We have recruited 450 already in the first phase. We…

    NFF APPOINTS NEW HEAD COACH FOR SUPER EAGLES

    NFF APPOINTS NEW HEAD COACH FOR SUPER EAGLES The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Executive Committee has approved the appointment of Éric Sékou Chelle as the new Head Coach of Nigeria’s senior men’s national football team, the Super Eagles. The decision followed the recommendation of the NFF’s Technical and Development Sub-Committee during its meeting held in Abuja on January 2, 2025. The appointment was formally endorsed by the NFF Executive Committee on January 7, 2025. Chelle, 47, is a former head coach of Mali’s senior national team and brings a wealth of experience, having managed clubs such as GS Consolat, FC Martigues, Boulogne, and MC Oran. During his playing career in France, he represented Martigues, Valenciennes, Lens, Istres, and Chamois Niortais. Born in Côte d’Ivoire to a French father and a Malian mother, Chelle was eligible to represent Côte d’Ivoire, France, and Mali. He opted for Mali, earning five caps before retiring. As Mali’s head coach from 2022 to 2024, Chelle led the Aiglons to the quarter-finals of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Côte d’Ivoire. Mali came agonizingly close to the semi-finals, losing 2-1 to the eventual champions after extra time. Under his leadership, Mali recorded 14 wins, five draws, and three losses. Chelle’s tenure with Mali ended in June 2024, but his achievements left a mark, including one of the most memorable performances at the 2023 AFCON. The Super Eagles’ head coach position became vacant following Finidi George’s resignation after disappointing results in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, including a draw against South Africa and a loss to the Benin Republic. Chelle’s appointment is effective immediately, and his primary task will be to guide Nigeria to secure a spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup finals. The crucial Matchday 5 and 6 qualifiers are scheduled for March.
