The United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) has pledged cooperation and support to the incoming administration of the governor-elect of Enugu State, Dr. Peter Mbah.
UNICEF made the pledge during a courtesy visit to Mbah by the organisation’s senior officials at the Old Government Lodge, Enugu, at the weekend.
In their remarks, the team leaders, Prof. Hamidu Ponfon, who is the Chief of Social Policy, UNICEF Country Office, Abuja, and the Chief of Field Office UNICEF, Enugu, Juliet Chiluwe, expressed pleasure at the content of Mbah’s manifesto.
They noted that his social contract with people of the state, which includes planning mechanism, social protection that talks about poverty eradication and the public financial management framework, all touched on critical elements that align with objectives of UNICEF.
