Mbah names 60-member transition committee

Ahead of May 29 inauguration, the Enugu State governor-elect, Dr. Peter Mbah, has named Ike Chioke, Dr. Joe Abah, Prof. Chidi Onyia, Prof Chinedu Nebo and 54 others to his Transition Committee. 

The committee includes internationally recognised technocrats, good governance, transparency and accountability advocates, financial and management experts, entrepreneurs, as well as tech and innovation specialists.

Mbah said the Transition Committee would help articulate and fine-tune the incoming administration’s “implementable and impactful development plan” when it assumes office in May. 

The Transition Committee members, as contained in a statement issued, on Monday, by the head of the Peter Mbah Media Office, Dan Nwomeh, will streamline the state’s development plan in line with Mbah’s ‘Social Charter’ with Enugu people.

The charter aims at repositioning the state as one of top three states in Nigeria in terms of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita, as well as addressing poverty, unemployment and insecurity.

The statement noted that the committee would commence work immediately after being inaugurated on April 27 and ends on May 29.
