The broader transformation agenda is also evident in the construction and completion of major roads, the development of critical healthcare infrastructure and the renewal of the state's urban landscape.

Through a combination of infrastructure renewal, economic reforms, security innovation, urban development and human capital investment, Governor Peter Mbah is working to reclaim Enugu's historic status as a major economic and administrative centre of the South East and to shape a modern, future-ready city and state.
