The Minister of Arts, Culture, Tourism, and Creative Economy, Hannatu Musawa, has described the governor of Enugu State, Dr. Peter Mbah, as a rare gift to the nation, saying Enugu is the luckiest state to have him.

Musawa, who was on a one-day visit to the state at the weekend, during which she toured the International Conference Centre, Enugu Digital Museum, and equally lit up the Christmas Village, a state-private sector initiative at the Naira Triangle, and the Unity Park, commended Mbah’s development strides and innovation in the past 18 months, expressing the Ministry’s continued support and partnership to further develop the arts, culture, tourism, and creative potentials of the state and initiatives of the governor.

“I can tell you unequivocally that Enugu is one of the luckiest states in Nigeria and I don’t say this lightly. You have been governor for a year and a bit now, but you have completely distinguished yourself.

“In every single corner of Nigeria, people have heard about the governor of Enugu State. What you have done with the smart schools, the innovation here will be remembered in the trajectory of Nigeria, when the history of Nigeria is written. It is something that is really good. You have charted a path for other governors to follow,” she said.

Speaking to newsmen after her tour and the official lighting up of some recreational facilities, the Minister also said, “I am very honoured to light the Christmas Village and Unity Park. I feel like a daughter of the soil who has come home. I look forward to coming back in the new year to see how my Ministry can collaborate and partner with the tourism, culture and creative industry to see what we can do to open up the potential and work with the governor to really bring value to the people of Enugu State.

“Again, I just want to say this, I think Enugu is a very blessed state. I think with a governor like Peter Mbah that has proved and distinguished himself as a visionary and innovative leader, given that what he has done in one and a bit year has been absolutely exemplary, if Enugu has a governor like this for four to eight years, only God knows the height you would be able to go to as a people, she concluded.

In his remark, Governor Mbah thanked the Federal Government for all the cooperation received so far, reiterating his stand that Nigeria’s economy is best grown from the states, not the centre, with each federating unit harnessing its potential.

Northerners are already finding ways to align with Igbos and SS while our Yoruba brothers are busy burning bridges & fighting everybody across the country because of ordinary presidency.

Omo we should move a motion for only Gov Mbah to do 3 terms. After he's done with Enugu, Enugu wahould be developed up to Abuja's standard in terms of infrastructure. Like if you don't live in Enugu you won't understand the joy I'm feeling. If you come out of your house and go into town, you'll see construction going up. Different roads are being built. Street cams are being mounted at various traffic lights. The other day I saw a police car mounted with a cam. Make money so you go come Enugu partner with the govt

Barteze:
Of course he will definitely do well because he is from Enugu east senatorial district.

Versitee:
Please how much is a 1 room in Enugu. Around GRA

MasterTeeUSA:
and this is a Governor we can all support to one day become the President of Nigeria....not the one with the Beer Factory to his name.

What the Gov has done quietly with water supply and infrastructure is commendable to say the least. No doubt, Enugu is positioning itself as an investor-friendly state. We keep watching and praying for good governance in other states, including my own Ogun State. God should bless us with one great Gov for 8yrs.
