Vice President, Kashim Shettima has lauded Governor Peter Mbah’s development strides in Enugu State, noting that he was turning the state around through multiple projects across all sectors. Shettima, who was in Enugu on Tuesday to commission the Enugu State Garment and Fashion Hub as well as unveil the 5th Expanded National Micro, Small, and Medium Scale Enterprises (MSME) Clinics, which are collaborative efforts of the Federal Government and Enugu to boost MSMEs in the state, also used the opportunity to tour some of the infrastructural projects by the Mbah Administration, such as the Command and Control security infrastructure and the International Conference Centre. He stressed that time for politics was over and stressed the Federal Government’s readiness to work with visionary leaders across party lines to move the country forward.
“Let us put politics aside. We are now in the phase of development. Politics is over.
We have to coalesce into a single force and face the challenges of under development in our Nation. Governor Peter Mbah means well for the people of Enugu State and he is humble. “Enugu is an equivalent of Kaduna and Ibadan.
But till the emergence of Governor Peter Mbah, Enugu was sleeping, a town that did not even have water supply,” he said. Speaking, Governor Mbah restated his administration’s commitment to boosting MSMEs, describing them as the lifeblood of economic growth and thanked the Federal Government for its continued support to Enugu .
