By CHARLES lWUOHA
The Leadership, Entrepreneurship and Advocacy Network (LEAD Network) Africa, an NGO, says President Bola Tinubu?s visit to Enugu State is strategic and shows inclusion of South-East to mainstream politics of the country.
The Executive Director of LEAD Network, Mr Chukwuma Okenwa, disclosed this to newsmen on Saturday in Enugu while reacting to Tinubu?s one-day official working visit to Enugu State and inauguration of strategic developmental projects within the state.
It would be recalled that during the working visit, President Tinubu inaugurated numerous projects executed by the Gov. Peter Mbah administration, which included: the 30 completed and equipped Enugu Smart Green Schools.
Others are: 60 completed and equipped Type-2Primary Healthcare Centres; the completed multi-auditorium and multi-functional Enugu International Conference Centre; and 90 completed urban roads in Enugu City,
The rest are: state-of-the-art Command and Control Centre as well as 150 patrol vehicles fitted with AI-embedded surveillance cameras.
Okenwa noted that the visit of the President remained commendable, adding that ?it goes to show that everybody and every zone matters in this administration?.
On the inauguration of so much projects in Enugu State, Okenwa said that Tinubu had sent a message across to the governors that through their transformative strides in their various states the needed development of the country would be assured.
?President Tinubu?s massive inauguration of people-oriented and impact projects built by Gov. Mbah with a short period of about 18 months is a wake-up call for other governors lagging behind.
?It is a wake-up call that good governance is all about the people and government policies and programmes must be people-focused and people-oriented at all time,? he said.
The LEAD Network boss also hailed Gov. Mbah for his unprecedented developmental strides, adding: ?Gov. Mbah within few months in office has been politically and developmentally smart.?
?Check out all the projects inaugurate by the President; it is all about how to better the lots of the people of Enugu State and prepare them for a 21 century all inclusive growth in human capital and financial development.
?Gov. Mbah remains an ambitious and visionary leader that believe that making Enugu State great is possible and do-able with the support of the people,? he said.
