The Igwe elect of Mburubu Community in Nkanu East Local Government Area, Enugu State, Chief Jerry Patrick Onuokaibe, has congratulated Governor Peter Mbah for receiving the New Telegraph Newspaper Governor of the Year award.
Chief Onuokaibe, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of First Choice Afro Villa Ltd, said that the well-deserved recognition is a testament to Mbah’s outstanding leadership and dedicated service to the people of Enugu State.
The royal father, in a statement issued to pressmen in Enugu, mentioned that Mbah’s visionary approach to education and infrastructural developments under his administration has been transforming Enugu.
The statement reads: “It is with great pleasure and admiration that I extend my heartfelt congratulations to you on receiving the prestigious Governor of the Year award from the New Telegraph Newspaper. This well-deserved recognition is a testament to your outstanding leadership and dedicated service to the people of Enugu State.
“Your unwavering commitment to security has been commendable, with notable contributions through government agencies, vigilant efforts, and strategic investments in equipping security forces. The infrastructural developments under your administration have transformed Enugu into a remarkable place, making it a beacon of progress.
“Your visionary approach to education, allocating over 33% of the state budget, is a laudable initiative that will undoubtedly contribute to the intellectual and socio-economic growth of the state. Additionally, your efforts in providing accessible water and other essential amenities showcase your dedication to enhancing the quality of life for Enugu residents.
“It is noteworthy that your policies have not only improved the living conditions but have also had a positive impact on the state’s economy. The significant influx of people during the yuletide season, choosing Enugu as their base, is a clear indication of the confidence and appeal your governance has generated. This influx has, in turn, positively influenced the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) of the state.
“As you receive this well-deserved accolade, I am confident that your continued leadership will further propel Enugu State to greater heights. Your ability to foster an environment that attracts both residents and visitors speaks volumes about the positive transformation taking place under your stewardship.
