The Enugu State Caucus in the House of Representatives has praised Governor Peter Mbah’s proposed ₦1.62 trillion budget for the 2026 fiscal year, describing it as bold, strategic, and anchored on a clear vision for accelerated economic development.

In a statement signed by the Caucus Leader, Rt. Hon. Nnolim Nnaji, the lawmakers expressed satisfaction with the consistent rise in Enugu State’s annual budgets since Governor Mbah assumed office.

They said the trend reflects a deliberate and well-structured roadmap for economic transformation.

The Caucus highlighted the steady budget progression as from N521.5 billion in 2024, N971.084 in 2025, and now N1.62 trillion in 2026.

According to the lawmakers, this upward trajectory demonstrates that Governor Mbah’s plan to grow the state’s economy from $4.4 billion to $30 billion annually is already yielding visible results.

They commended the strong emphasis the budget places on economic expansion, infrastructure development, education, healthcare, and social welfare, areas they described as critical to sustainable development and better quality of life for citizens.

The legislators also applauded Governor Mbah’s adoption of advanced drone surveillance technology to strengthen security across the state.
