Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State, says his administration made landmark achievements towards transforming the state better in his 100 days in office.
On the energy supply and management, the governor said his administration had signed the State Power act into law, which domesticates the Electricity Act 2023 and now gives the State regulatory power to establish an Enugu State Electricity Market.“Within 100 days in office, investors have been attracted from all over the world, also, we are having the best from the private sector and development partners with the likes of AfDB, AFREXIM, FCDO, and the World Bank, amongst others.
“It also marks the beginning of the process of working with the investment world to curate our project pipeline with the aim of preparing them for investment in the not distant future. “On attracting external capital, we have repositioned the state in its relationship with key development partners like the World Bank, AFD and opened the door to new funding for the state’s projects,” he said.
Mbah said the state shared the funding for the International Fund For Agricultural Development , Value Chain Development Programme, Development of Agricultural Value Chains, totalling N274 million, which would facilitate a receipt of N1.2 billion from IFAD. He said the payment would enhance smallholder productivity, increase the volume and quality of marketable produce by strengthening farmers’ organisations as well as supporting smallholder production.
