Governor of Enugu State, Peter Mbah, yesterday, told all political appointees that they would be assessed by the performance benchmarks set for all Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), saying the administration is in a hurry to deliver on its campaign promises.

Mbah stated this in his closing remarks at a three-day executive leadership retreat, held for senior political appointees at the Nike Lake Resort, in Enugu, at the weekend.

Speaking at the retreat themed, ‘Strategic Leadership For Disruptive Innovation And Sustainable Development,’ which brought together leadership, development, financial, climate, public sector, strategy and innovation experts, the governor said that raising the state’s economy from $4.4 to $30 billion is doable if political appointees applied the knowledge garnered at the retreat to disrupt the status quo, which was no longer acceptable.

He said: “I think everything we have expressed here in terms of our vision is possible. Development history is replete with countries, sub-nationals and cities where the people have come together and agreed that they would change the narrative, the pattern of growth, committing themselves to it, and it happened.”
