Enugu LG Chairmen Pledge Support for Mbah’s Devt Agenda.
The Chairman of Igboeze South Local Government Area, Honourable Ugo Ferdinand Ukwueze, stated this while reacting to the governor’s presentation of his administration’s mid-term performance update on its manifesto and social contract with the people.
Ukwueze said the achievements demonstrated the administration’s commitment to transforming Enugu State through innovation, strategic investments and improved service delivery.
He identified the construction of 268 Smart Green Schools and 260 Type Two Primary Healthcare Centres across the state’s wards as major interventions aimed at strengthening education and healthcare delivery.
The council chairman also commended the recruitment of 2,250 health personnel to improve access to medical services and support round-the-clock operations at primary healthcare facilities. He noted that the establishment of advanced diagnostic services, including MRI, CT scans and mammography, would help reduce medical tourism and position Enugu as a destination for specialised healthcare. On economic development, Ukwueze cited the revitalisation of United Palm Products Limited, the return of Sunrise Flour Mills to full operation through a public-private partnership, and investments in aviation, agriculture, energy and animal husbandry as initiatives expected to create jobs and boost the state’s economy. He also highlighted ongoing tourism projects, including the development of the Nsude Pyramid, Ovu Lake Resort, Akpofu lakeside development and Akwuke Beach Resort, saying the initiatives would strengthen the state’s tourism potential and attract investments.
