In furtherance of government’s intervention in the microeconomic indices Enugu state government under the leadership of Governor Peter Mbah has built and repaired over 293 roads statewide in places and areas the government has never seen intervention before.
From the abandoned Emene roads to Umuchu street, to coal camp roads to Emeka Ebili to Mbanugo to Achara layout to Odudukoko are filled with expansion of infrastructure and upgrading of road networks which has kept caterpillar parts owners busy. Caterpillar owners have expanded their businesses by buying new machines.
The government due to the over 2000 projects ranging from 260 smart schools, 260 type 2 health centres and 260 farm estates has swallowed over 1500 caterpillar machines, over 20,000 workers thus boosting local economic activities across the state.
The government has invested in the microeconomic level putting money into the local economy and helping productive ventures and skilled workforce to earn higher wages.
A typical caterpillar owner rents an excavator or a dozer for over 300,000 per day and an operator makes 20,000 per day(8 hours of work).
The government through these projects in agriculture with over 52000 farmers and over 1000 extension workers expected to be busy boosting food security in 260 farm estates, state owned industries revived and in production, road construction with state owned asphalt plant built and in use, 260 smart school constructions, 8 new technical and vocational education training (TVET) schools and estate development from both government and private sector has improved the microeconomic indices of the populace with estimated 3 million people expected to move into the state in the next 4 years.
This led Enugu State to grow its internally generated revenue to over 180 billion this year which shows there is a high level of productivity going on in the coal city state.
The Enugu State government is establishing the structure and systems that will leapfrog Enugu from a civil service state to an economic hub.
The government is getting Enugu ready to be on a sound pedestal as the nation is migrating from a revenue sharing economy to a tax paying economy from January where every kobo of government is spent wisely and the people demand accountability and support which the government is providing through the citizens charter.
Enugu is building a smart economy and a smart city which will be ready to access the skill set our new educational system is building. Enugu is fast becoming an economic hub and tech capital of Nigeria.
Enugu will become a billion dollar self reliant sub national economy. A modern smart city is emerging.
