The World Bank has commended Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State over his numerous developmental strides in the areas of water and agriculture, particularly livestock farming, stressing that the governor’s efforts at transforming the state would help in up-scaling its agricultural productivity.
The commendation was made on Wednesday by the National Coordinator of Livestock Productivity and Resilience Support Project (L-PRES), a World Bank-assisted project, Sanusi Abubakar, during the Project Implementation Support Mission as well as a working visit to the governor at the Government House, Enugu.
In his address, Abubakar explained that the L-PRES is a six-year World Bank-assisted project under the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security which seeks to improve productivity and commercialization of livestock value chains, adding that they were in Enugu to lend support and complement the state government's efforts around commercial livestock agriculture and value chain development in order to address “systemic weaknesses and challenges stifling the needed growth and full emancipation of the livestock sector in the state".
While lauding governor Mbah for showing significant commitment in meeting the project onboarding criteria, he maintained that his administration's giant strides in agriculture, provision of water and development projects would assist the L-PRES mission in the state.
“Your administration’s giant strides in agriculture and developmental projects cannot go unnoticed within the ecosystem of livestock stakeholders in Nigeria and beyond.
“We are fully aware of your strides in the provision of potable water through your administration’s water project which is a critical factor for sustainable livelihood and livestock production, construction of rural roads networks which is a critical success factor in value chain development and market linkage and investment commitment in agriculture,” he said.
Speaking, Governor Mbah, who was represented by the Deputy Governor, Barr. Ifeanyi Ossai, extolled the team for the good work it was doing, while maintaining that the state government was mindful of playing its part in every partnership that would create value for the state and bring progress for the people of Enugu State.
Mbah further charged the team to assist the livestock farmers in the state to design their farms, prepare all bankable documents that would enable them access to finance, assuring that Enugu farmers are committed, strong, willing and genuine farmers who have the capacity to supply protein to other parts of the world.
"We want to work with you closely to ensure that whatever investment you make will be supported by the contribution we make in counterpart funding which will have a trackable value to our people. Enugu has moved agriculture from a subsistence activity to business, and we are looking at it as a business. Enugu is now rightly out for business and investment, we are disposed and ready more than most of the states to sustain that.
"We have an international airport, we can supply protein to other countries. I want us to work together to give value to this programme so that at the end of the day, we can look back and say we indeed made an impact on the people," Mbah added.

Posted on Sep 07, 2024 at 01:48 PMEthical Leadership Centre, Enugu recognising visionary leadership is certainly a milestone towards 'making excellence the norm'. Big thanks to Chief Ben Etiaba for his tireless effort to improve our society and it's pillars.
Posted on Sep 10, 2024 at 09:51 AMYes Rangers! Our darling team was the hope of everyone across the niger to get thrilled and be happy. Rangers was the binding wire that bound the faith of the IGBO MAN together. Because the Igbos does not believe in anybody, rather the Igbo-man believes in self and God. He believes in what he can do for himself and others. Otherwise, how could a people in a war situation be cut off from outside world, they were not getting relief materials from the world bodies, no ammunition and the rest, and things got most trying and difficult. But in such horrible state of life, the IGBO-MAN produce the great bomb fondly called (Ojukwu bucket or Ogbunigwe) that destroys and kills in multiple folds, produced fighter jets which they used during the war, the Igbo-man produced his own fuel both for aviation and automotive uses. The Igbo-man started live again after the war with just twenty pounds only and excelled beyond imagination. Rangers FC was a reincarnated spirit of Igbo-man, that of course was the reason Rangers took over the football sphere in Nigeria shortly after it was founded in early 70's. Well let me come back before I go adrift Rangers International FC. I appreciate my brother Chief Ben Etiaba "Ifennia" founder Ethical Leadership Center Enugu, for the good job he is doing , especially in fishing out our men and women of substance who has paid their dues in their different callings and honouring them duly. Finally, my Congratulations goes to Dr. Joseph Ugboaja the Chief Medical Director Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital Nnewi for his milestone achievement so far at NAUTH. I also congratulate the young enterprising Director of Rangers management board chief Ugboaku for his visionary leadership and achievements. God bless you all, and let the flame keep burning!
