The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has applauded Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State for his innovative and transformative leadership, describing his two-year tenure as marked by unprecedented infrastructural, economic, and human capital development.
In a congratulatory message issued in Enugu, the Chairman of IPMAN Enugu Depot Unit, Mr. Chinedu Anyaso, commended Gov. Mbah for living up to the expectations associated with IPMAN’s values of service excellence.
Anyaso highlighted that the governor’s remarkable achievements within just two years in office have brought pride to the association and demonstrated his capacity for impactful governance.
“According to him, Gov. Mbah has achieved unprecedented development strides in two years and made us (every member of IPMAN) proud and be able to speak interestingly on achievements of our life patron.”
He attributed the improvement in petroleum marketing operations across the state to the enabling environment created by the Mbah administration.
“Today, filling stations and other petroleum marketing platforms sell virtually round the clock and this conducive and flourishing business environment will never be possible if not for the huge security investment and technological innovation he put in place.”
Speaking further, Anyaso outlined the governor’s extensive investment in security infrastructure.
“Gov. Mbah has invested heavily in security by procuring 150 vehicles fitted with 360 degree surveillance cameras, fully equipped with communication gadgets; as well as placed surveillance cameras and search lights in the whole Enugu and built a security Command and Control Centre.”
He also praised the massive infrastructural development initiatives, especially in road construction and rehabilitation.
“Constructing and reconstruction of virtually all roads within Enugu metropolis and hundreds of new access roads outside the metropolis to make for ease of movement and opening up rural areas, local farming communities and local economic businesses.”
“Today, Enugu is secured, motorable and livable; making it the first choice destination for leisure and tourism as well as international conferences and engagements attracting thousands of high networth individuals,” he said.
On education and healthcare, Anyaso pointed to several state-wide projects.
He noted, “everyone can spot the ongoing 260 Smart Schools; 260 Smart School Farms; and 260 Smart Type-2 Primary Healthcare Centres springing up in the 260 political wards in the state.”
In agriculture, he said, the establishment of a tractor assembly plant and smart farm estates are revolutionizing the sector.
“We have the tractor assembly plant rolling out 1,000 farm tractors and will train youths on tractor’s repair and maintenance as well as establishment of 260 Smart Farm Estates and lots of farm inputs and improved seedlings distributed already to farmers.”
He also acknowledged the administration’s youth empowerment efforts through digital skill development programs.
“Thousands have enrolled and more thousands are waiting to be enrolled and join the ongoing technological soft skill and upscale skill training, which holds lots of promises of future engagements and livelihoods for the teeming youths.”
Anyaso further lauded the state’s progress in areas such as water supply, tourism, rural development, and tax system modernization.
“Gov. Mbah has virtually touched all sectors i.e. urban water supply and reticulation within Enugu; culture and tourism development; rural empowerment and welfare; and put in place digital-driven tax system.”
He also emphasized the governor’s policy innovations.
“Through people-oriented laws and Executive Orders opened up the state for electricity market, farm produce and aviation space among others,” he noted.
Concluding, Anyaso urged Gov. Mbah to sustain the momentum, praising the significant improvements in Enugu’s human and capital development indices.
“On behalf of the entire members of the IPMAN Enugu Depot Unit, we wish you well. We will continue to pray for your sound health and wisdom as well as progress of Enugu State.”
“May God’s Light always illuminate your path as you continue to move Enugu State in the path of fast progress and development,” he added.
