EXCLUSIVE: Northern senators move against Akpabio over alleged N4trn budget paddingClimate change, extreme weather, conflict exacerbate global food crisisEXCLUSIVE: Northern senators move against Akpabio over alleged N4trn budget paddingClimate change, extreme weather, conflict exacerbate global food crisisGovernor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has called for the devolution of more powers to states, describing it as the only catalyst for the socio-economic development of Nigeria.
Mr Mbah, according to the statement, made the call at a public lecture entitled “Enugu State, Nigeria: New Political Leadership; Bold Economic Vision – Spotlight on the Health and Education Strategies” which he delivered at the London School of Economics. He commended the transfer of railways and power from the Exclusive to Concurrent List to enable the states to play a role in those sectors.
“But our presidential federalism has bred a system where revenue is excessively domiciled at the centre rather than in the states or regions,” the statement quoted the governor as saying. He noted that a good leader was basically a visionary and should not merely peddle hope, but demonstrate a capacity to translate dreams into reality.“The single boldest projection that encapsulates what we intend to accomplish is our target to grow the economy of Enugu State seven-fold.
