Governor Peter Mbah has been credited with reviving and completing several long-abandoned projects across Enugu State, many of which are now contributing to the state’s internally generated revenue (IGR).

Among the notable projects is the Enugu International Conference Centre, which had remained uncompleted since 2007. The facility has now been completed and is operational. Similarly, Hotel Presidential, which had been moribund for years, has been rehabilitated and reopened.

The governor also re-awarded and resumed work on the new Enugu State Secretariat initiated by former Governor Sullivan Chime, while infrastructure upgrades are ongoing at Enugu State University of Science and Technology and its teaching hospital, ESUT Teaching Hospital Parklane.

Healthcare facilities such as the Enugu International Hospital, Government House Clinic, Nsukka General Hospital, and several Type-3 Primary Healthcare Centres in Uzo-Uwani (Adani), Nara, and Agwu have undergone remodeling and re-equipping. Reconstruction is also ongoing at the Ajali Waterworks, while the Oji River Water Scheme has resumed operations.

In the tourism sector, sites including Nike Lake Resort, Ngwo Pine Forest, and Awhum Waterfall have reportedly received renewed attention.

Industrial and economic assets such as the Niger Gas facility, Enugu United Palm Products, Sun Flour Mill, and the Enugu International Spare Parts and Allied Industrial Market are also being revitalized. Road infrastructure development has extended to previously underserved communities, including Eha-Amufu in Isi-Uzo Local Government Area.

Supporters of the administration attribute the recent increase in the state’s IGR to improved transparency, blocking revenue leakages, and returns on investments from revived state assets, rather than new tax measures.

The government maintains that these interventions are part of a broader development agenda aimed at transforming Enugu’s economic and social landscape.
