Enugu State, historically known as the coal city and a cultural hub of the South-East, has recently witnessed remarkable strides under Governor Mbah’s administration. When President Bola Ahmed Tinubu arrived in the state—accompanied by a delegation of federal officials, business leaders, and political dignitaries—he was greeted with a sense of optimism and unity that transcended political affiliations. The atmosphere was electric, a reflection of the hopes that the visit would foster deeper collaboration between the federal government and the South-East region.
President Tinubu’s itinerary included engagements with traditional rulers, a tour of key infrastructural projects, and a town hall meeting with stakeholders.

He was surprised by the scale of what Governor Mbah has done, saying, “I don’t care about your party, you are my friend.”
Engagement with Traditional Institutions was also in the package. President Tinubu’s meeting with traditional rulers from the South-East was a poignant moment of the visit. The gathering, held at the Enugu Government House, provided an opportunity for dialogue on issues ranging from security to cultural preservation. The traditional leaders, led by the Chairman of the South-East Council of Traditional Rulers, commended Governor Mbah for his inclusive governance and commitment to preserving the region’s rich heritage.
“Governor Mbah’s leadership is a shining example of how to balance modernity with tradition,” President Tinubu said. “His respect for cultural values while pursuing development is something we can all learn from.”
The President visit to Enugu State was more than a routine presidential engagement; it was a momentous occasion that highlighted the synergy between national and state leadership. The President’s commendation of Governor Peter Mbah as a beacon of development and rapid transformation in the South-East underscored the latter’s commitment to progress and the significance of visionary leadership in shaping Nigeria’s future.
Governor Peter Mbah’s rise to prominence has been defined by his pragmatic and forward-thinking approach to governance. Since assuming office, he has prioritized infrastructural development, economic diversification, and social welfare, earning him accolades from residents and stakeholders alike. During President Tinubu’s visit, several of these initiatives were showcased, painting a vivid picture of a state on the rise.
Fostering innovation and transforming infrastructure are crucial to Governor Mbah’s administration. One of the highlights of the visit was a tour of the Enugu Tech Hub, a state-of-the-art facility aimed at fostering innovation and technological advancement. The administration has invested heavily in digital infrastructure, recognizing the potential of technology to drive economic growth and create jobs for the youth. The Tech Hub, which houses incubators, training centers, and co-working spaces, is a testament to this vision.
“This is the kind of forward-thinking leadership we need across Nigeria,” President Tinubu remarked during the tour. “Governor Mbah understands that the future belongs to those who prepare for it today.”

He also visited the recently completed Enugu International Conference Center, a world-class venue designed to attract global events and boost tourism in the region. This project, alongside ongoing efforts to upgrade roads, schools, and healthcare facilities, underscores Governor Mbah’s commitment to building a state that caters to both residents and visitors.

Enugu’s transformation under Governor Mbah is not limited to physical infrastructure. The state’s economy has been reinvigorated through strategic policies aimed at attracting investment and promoting entrepreneurship. During his speech, President Tinubu highlighted the governor’s achievements in this regard, noting the state’s improved ease of doing business and its emergence as a hub for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
One of the most talked-about initiatives is the Enugu Agro-Industrial Park, a flagship project designed to leverage the state’s agricultural potential. The park, which includes processing plants, storage facilities, and research centers, has created thousands of jobs and enhanced food security. During his visit, President Tinubu described the project as a “game-changer” and urged other states to adopt similar models.
“What we see here is a commitment to turning challenges into opportunities,” the President said. “Governor Mbah is not just thinking about today; he’s building a legacy for future generations.”

During his visit, President Tinubu emphasized the importance of such initiatives, noting that national progress requires collective effort and mutual respect.
Security was another critical issue addressed during the visit. Governor Mbah’s administration has implemented innovative strategies to combat insecurity, including community policing and the deployment of technology-driven surveillance systems. These efforts have not only improved safety in the state but also created an environment conducive to investment and development.
President Tinubu commended these initiatives, pledging federal support to further enhance security in the region. “A secure Nigeria is a prosperous Nigeria,” he said. “Governor Mbah’s approach to security is commendable, and we will continue to work together to ensure peace and stability.”
As the visit drew to a close, President Tinubu addressed a gathering of stakeholders at a town hall meeting. In his speech, he reiterated his admiration for Governor Mbah’s leadership and called for a collective commitment to national unity and development.
“The progress we see in Enugu today is a testament to what can be achieved when leaders put the people first,” the President said. “Governor Mbah’s vision for Enugu aligns with our national agenda, and I am confident that together, we can build a Nigeria that works for everyone.”
President Tinubu also used the opportunity to address concerns raised by stakeholders, including issues related to federal allocations, infrastructural deficits, and the marginalization of the South-East in national affairs. He assured the audience of his administration’s commitment to addressing these challenges, emphasizing that no region would be left behind in the quest for progress.
