Mbah Extols Founding Fathers As Enugu Clocks 32, Promises Disruptive Governance

Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has promised that his administration was determined to realise the goals and dreams of the state’s founding fathers through innovation and disruptive governance.

Mbah gave the assurances in a statement signed and issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Mainstream Media, Dan Nwomeh, on Sunday in Enugu to commemorate the 32nd anniversary of the creation of Enugu State.

While extolling Enugu’s founding fathers, who fought for the creation of the state in 1991, the governor maintained that their sacrifices had never been in vain, as successive administrations had continued to sustain their legacies and work towards the realisation of those dreams.

He, however, stressed that the target of his government was to go beyond the sustenance of the dreams to actualising them through innovation and disruptive governance philosophy.

“I salute the determination and sacrifices of our founding fathers and all those that contributed in one way or the other in the tortuous journey of ensuring that the quest for a state of our own came to fruition. We will never take their sacrifices for granted.

“Our agenda is to immortalise them by fashioning out a state that they would be proud of and a state that would stand as a reference point in socioeconomic transformation in the country.

“Over the past 32 years, we have witnessed some commendable transformations meant at sustaining the dreams of our founding fathers, Mbah said

“We started this by laying a new foundation that would disrupt the sub-optimisation in governance. We have started doing things differently because we want a state where posterity will be kind to us.

“We want a state where our children will judge us fairly and a state where poverty will be a thing of the past.

“We understand that these are not going to be easy, but with your support, and our commitment to our governance philosophy, I can say we will get there faster than ever imagined, he assured.

The governor added that he was determined to take Enugu economy from the present $4.4 billion to $30 billion, adding that they were laying the necessary foundations for the exponential economic revolution.

According to him the government has made consequential statements on security and backed them with action to guarantee investment inflow.

He stressed that his administration would not rest on their oars until the last atom of threat to Enugu people’s peace and security was escorted out of the state.

“I wished the people of Enugu State a happy 32nd anniversary,” Mbah said. (NAN)
