Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State, yesterday, sought partnership with the 24 members-elect of the state House of Assembly to accelerate development and render utmost service to people of the state.
Mbah, who spoke while declaring open a two-day pre-inauguration workshop for the 8th Assembly members-elect at Nike Lake Resort, Enugu, assured them that his administration would do all it takes to ensure that constructive partnership in service to the people is sustained.
Represented by his deputy, Ifeanyi Ossai, the governor disclosed that he is making effort to infuse the executive arm of government with intellectual energy needed to deliver on his mandate and fulfill his campaign promises to the people.
Mbah described the workshop as a step in the right direction, adding that it will equip the incoming members of the state parliament with necessary tools to execute their constitutional assignment.
Reminding them that people of the state expect quality service from the new executive and legislative arms of government, the governor said he has no doubt that members-elect will perform their duties efficiently and effectively.
Conveying the goodwill and felicitations of the governor, Ossai explained that Mbah came prepared with his mantra of disruptive innovation, saying: “I have no doubt that our people would be happy at the end of the day, because there is capacity in the governor to navigate us through a complex and complicated process.
“But that process is the only path to great Enugu State we have all envisioned. It is the only path to the apex of development that we need to keep Enugu competitive with cities around Africa and the world.”
In his welcome address, the Clerk of the House, Dr. Emmanuel Udaya, stated that Mbah, in the light of his vision and innovative approach to issues, gave him approval to organise the orientation programme.
