The PUNCH reports that it has been exactly two years since Kanu was arrested on Kenyan soil and extradited to Nigeria where he faced seven counts bordering on terrorism.
“Mr President has, in his inaugural address, promised the people that he’s going to engender national healing and he’s going to serve with compassion. So, we’ve basically informed him that this would serve as a pointer to his administration’s extension of hands of fellowship,” Mbah said.“We also had that conversation with Mr President. We have made a very strong announcement. We’ve banned sit-at-home on Mondays in Enugu.
“And obviously, what that means is that we will, of course, need to, you know, heighten our security, tackle the challenges that would flow from that, and, you know, essentially that’s what I have come to do,” he emphasised. He also disclosed that he called for the Federal Government’s assistance to explore the abundant and untapped mineral resources in Enugu State for the benefit of the people.
“We’ve taken a bold view of what the new group could achieve in the next four years, in terms of growing our economy from the current levels to $30bn. “We have a number of dormant assets in Enugu, which we believe partnering with the Federal Government, we’re able to transform them into productive assets,” the governor said.All rights reserved.
