Enugu LG Chairmen Back Governor Mbah's Development Plans

The 17 Local Government Area chairmen in Enugu State have pledged their support for Governor Peter Mbah’s development agenda, commending his administration's achievements in education, healthcare, infrastructure, and economic growth. Honourable Ugo Ferdinand Ukwueze, Chairman of Igboeze South Local Government Area, made these remarks following the governor’s mid-term performance update.

He noted significant milestones, including the construction of 268 Smart Green Schools and 260 Type Two Primary Healthcare Centres aimed at enhancing education and healthcare delivery. Ukwueze also praised the recruitment of 2,250 health personnel to improve medical service access and the establishment of advanced diagnostic services to reduce medical tourism.

He highlighted economic initiatives such as the revitalisation of United Palm Products Limited and the return of Sunrise Flour Mills to operation through public-private partnerships. Additionally, he addressed concerns over taxation, clarifying that the government is harmonising statutory charges and simplifying tax administration.

The state’s internally generated revenue reportedly increased from N25 billion to N400 billion, reflecting improved revenue mobilisation.
