Enugu Sports Club Seeks Gov. Mbah’s Backing To Boost Facilities, Tackle Land Encroachment

The Enugu Sports Club has appealed to Governor Peter Mbah to intervene urgently in the ongoing encroachment on its land, particularly around the Golf Course.

The club’s new Executive Chairman, Chief Ifeanyi Nweke, made the appeal shortly after the inauguration of a 23-member executive committee at the club’s auditorium in Enugu.

Nweke lamented that the unauthorised activities on the club’s land were causing disputes and threatening the integrity of its property. He urged the state government to help safeguard the club’s assets and support its infrastructural projects.

He further sought the governor’s assistance in completing the club’s abandoned hotel project, providing an ambulance for emergency response, and installing solar energy systems to cut power costs. The chairman also appealed for a ₦10 million donation to furnish the club’s staff quarters.

Commending Governor Mbah’s efforts to host the forthcoming National Sports Festival, Nweke requested government support to upgrade the club’s facilities to international standards for the events assigned to it.

He praised Mbah’s transformational agenda, describing his leadership as “inspirational” and focused on making Enugu a model for rapid development.

Chairman of the occasion and former President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief John Nwodo, lauded Nweke’s proactive leadership and urged members to rally behind him. He also called for the revival of the club’s children’s section with more educational and cultural activities.

Governor Mbah, represented by the Commissioner for Culture and Tourism, Dame Ugochi Madueke, commended the club’s unity and progress, assuring continued government support.

Highlights of the ceremony included the swearing-in of new executives and presentation of Awards of Excellence to distinguished personalities.
