Enugu Exco Approves Construction, Reconstruction Of 1,022 Urban Roads

The Enugu State Government has approved the construction and reconstruction of 1,022 urban roads in line with Governor Peter Mbah’s administration’s target to pave all the roads in Enugu metropolis before the end of his first term in office.

This was made known at the end of the Enugu State Executive Council meeting at the weekend.

Briefing Government House correspondents, the Commissioner for Information and Communication, Dr. Malachy Agbo; Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Engr. Osita Okoh; and Commissioner for Trade, Investment and Industry, Dr. Sam Ogbu-Nwobodo, said that the Executive Council also approved the Business Enabling Reform Action Plan for 2026, as well as a series of events for an unforgettable “Detty December” experience marking the forthcoming Christmas and New Year celebrations.

Throwing more light on the 1,022 roads, Okoh said it was an effort to maximise the dry season window, ensuring that contracts were awarded early and contractors mobilised to the various sites from January 2026.

“We have done the first phase, which was over 90 roads. We have also done phase two, which also exceeded the earlier planned 141 urban roads. So, we are now in phase three. Here, we are going to award contracts that will cover all the roads that are yet to be paved in Enugu metropolis.

“These roads cut across New GRA, Old GRA, Emene Zone, Abakpa Zone, Thinkers Corner, Airport Corner, Upper Meniru in Awkunanaw, Idaw River Layout, Gariki, Maryland, Achara Layout, Uwani, One Day and Upper One Day, Trans Ekulu, Independence Layout, Independence Layout Phase II, Coal Camp Zone, Pocket Layout, as well as Ogui and Asata Zone, among other places. We want to cover the uncovered areas roads in the Enugu metropolis,” he said.

On his part, Dr. Ogbu-Nwobodo explained that the Business Enabling Reform Action Plan for 2026 was aimed at enhancing the Enugu business-friendly ecosystem, having achieved a major leap from 36th position to 6th position in the national ease of doing business survey.

“Three years ago, Enugu was ranked 36th out of 37 (36 states and the FCT). But presently, it has performed well in the ease of doing business rankings. This translates to more robust engagements with the private sector and increased investment inflow into the state. So, as you enhance your environment through processes that are transparent and predictable in land administration, tax administration, permits, and business-to-government interfaces, you get more capital inflow,” he stated.

South East on the road to full development

If you are the type that like quiet and serene environment, then Enugu is the destination you'll need to visit for holidays or relocate to.

In all my travels to different parts of this country, I've never seen a city more orderly,beautiful, clean, serene, and with good ambiance like Enugu. I also noticed that the inhabitants are more friendly and willing to assist if you need help.

Peter Mba is working tirelessly to make the city more beautiful and attractive to investors too.
May God give him more wisdom to work for his people, especially now that he has joined them in that their witchcraft coven, APC.

Make sure it stand the test of time

Peter Mbah is doing wonders in Enugu unlike that Noise maker in Abia.
Mbah is a silent acheiever, His smart schools, smart hospitals projects are all over Enugu yet no noise

I don't know how to explain it Enugu always have Very beautiful names for their neighborhood I swear

Beautiful and if it stands the test of time and not substandard roads then it will be great

When coal was big, Enugu attracted the brightest minds from the East. I suppose that played a role. In fact, other Nigerians worked in the coal mines and spoke fluent Igbo too. A good example was Sonny Okosun, whose Edo father worked in the mine, spoke fluent Igbo and sang Igbo songs.

M I Okpara doesn't get as much credit as he should for all he did in terms of setting the former Eastern Nigeria on a strong infrastructural footing post independence ..
No one in Nigeria was as administratively inventive as Okpara..

The kind of visionary leadership we yearn for. 👍🏽

My sw governors, make una carry una gsm come see something?

Will definetely happen now that they belong to the progressives

This sounds like a very ambitious plan. 👍
If the government actually follows through and delivers quality roads across all these areas, it will make a huge difference in traffic flow, business activities, and daily life in Enugu. The real test will be execution and maintenance. Let’s hope it doesn’t end at approvals alone.`

There's this estate alongside back of gemini Enugu urban, you'd be amazed walai talai.
F*****g beautiful estate with 24hours power supply, I've forgotten its name including clean meals are cheap, with #1,700 you go chop better swallow.
I'm glad we finally have a leader who thinks outside the box like Chimaraoke, Sullivan and Gburu-gburu didn't do any shit for us.

The problems with you people from the West is that you politicise everything and use ethnicity even in the place of worship. You people have this ethnically warped mentality and mindset that everything must be about you in this country. The mindset of "My Mercedes is bigger than yours".

You remain in that your hut in Osogbo and Ado Ekiti, never travelled out, yet you think and feel you live in paradise and no where else is better than that your enclave. Emancipate your mind from this deep rooted hatred you have for other ethnicity before it's too late.

Celebrate others when they do well, and criticise constructively when you feel there should be change or improvements.

I come in peace from the ND.

Say the truth the way it is my dear. Call out your governors, there's nothing wrong in doing that, instead of shielding them because of ethnic biases.

I was in Enugu during the NBA conference that was held in that city. Omo, come and see how everybody is talking good about the city. Everybody - Northerners, Westerners, Easterners and South South people...everybody love what they see, clean and orderly city. Well laid out Estates with trees upon trees everywhere.

Some times I ask myself, do these leaders and governors visit others states to copy what they see there to replicate in their own state at all?
There should be collaboration between states to build a better society.

Remove Sullivan Chime from that list, Oga. Your evaluation of the other gentlemen is correct.

In the south-east, Enugu State is second only to Anambra State in terms of rural development. Much of this development can be attributed to Sullivan Chime's tenure and community self-help initiatives, which have sustainably continued to widen.

What did Chime do at Enugu state??
You're funny aswear and you sound confidently like a kid, you're up above narrating fallacious tales of Chime.
Lol, Chime only carried on with Chimaraoke's settings he absolutely had no laid foundation of politics and governance.

Enugu the calm peaceful city. As an Igbo man, if u get money and u no get house for Enugu then u aren’t rich.

Eastern region governors are trying massively .
.give it to them !

I like those in SW shouting on yourandate we stand

If you are from or even live in Enugu, you won't be reasoning what you wrote there....Chime is the father of new Enugu as he created the enabling environment for all the numerous estates springing up in Enugu

He settled Nsukka people with the Ugwuogo -opi road

Is Ogun state govt in another planet that can't think of road construction in his state? The only thing that the irrelevant governor does is to attend owambe and do boy boy to Tinubu.

You're either too young at the time or too Stvpid to understand the dynamics of things at the time. I ate and drank with the gentleman, so yea, you're probably still a kid.
