Tinubu’s reforms have stabilised economy, says Peter Mbah

Peter Mbah, governor of Enugu state, says President Bola Tinubu’s reforms have stabilised the nation’s economy.

In a message marking the anniversary of Nigeria’s independence, Mbah congratulated citizens on “the proud milestone” while calling for optimism and unity in the face of present challenges.

He assured that the Tinubu administration’s economic policies and citizens’ huge sacrifices would ultimately pay off if the nation stays the course.

Mbah said although the anniversary may be low-key, it does not eliminate Nigeria’s giant strides as an independent nation.

“At 65, our independence is a reminder of what we can achieve as a people when we are united. It is also a reminder that progress demands sacrifice, and that tomorrow is shaped by the choices we make today,” he said.

“The commemoration of our 65th independence anniversary may understandably be low-key, but the significance of the strides we have made as a nation is by no means underwhelming.

“Those strides are manifest in the remarkable achievements we have recorded across key sectors.

“They reflect as well in the bold reforms of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu that have brought stability to the Nigerian economy. The sacrifices may be huge today, but there is no doubt that the end will vindicate the decisions if we stay the course.

“As we raise our flags today, let us renew our covenant to Nigeria; let us embrace the spirit of unity, and let us uphold the optimism that has carried us this far.”

The governor assured of his administration’s commitment to an inclusive development model that leaves no one behind.

He said Enugu is on the pathway to exponential economic growth.

“In Enugu State, this Independence Day is a fitting occasion to recommit to our pledge to make inclusion the cornerstone of government policy; to create wealth and deploy it for the benefit of everyone in Enugu State. We are staying the course. And no one will be left behind,” he said.

“From moribund assets roaring back to life, to Ndi Enugu enjoying a resounding sense of security of lives and property, our children transitioning to 260 Smart Green Schools, our rural communities accessing modern healthcare courtesy of our completed or ongoing 260 Type 2 Primary Healthcare Centres.

“Ndi Enugu commuting conveniently and affordably via our modern transport system and infrastructure… Enugu State is no doubt on the pathway to assured turnaround and exponential economic growth.”
