The Enugu State Governor, Dr Peter Mbah, on Saturday, says his administration is working to generate and distribute electricity.
He spoke during a town hall meeting with Enugu people at the Old Government House, Enugu.
He said, "Electricity is a major infrastructural requirement for private sector to thrive, adding that the state would leverage on the removal of the power generation, transmission and distribution from exclusive list to concurrent list to provide steady power to the citizenry.
He said government was going to set up the State Electricity Regulatory Commission as they tackle all legal and regulatory issues in actualising the objective.
“There shall be no monopoly as people will be allowed to buy and sell electricity”
The governor also promised continuous payment of wage awards to state workers until committee on new minimum wage concludes its work.
He said his government would prioritise workers’ welfare, adding that he would create values that would help workers to thrive.
“Until new minimum wage is concluded, we will continue to pay wage award,” he assured.
The governor who added that his administration inherited arrears of pension and gratuity of retired civil servants, explained that he did not waste time in clearing them.
“Today we are working seriously to clear that of primary school teachers and Local Government workers.
On education, Mbah said his administration identified it as the strongest weapon to fight poverty, saying “this is why we are building SMART Schools across 260 wards which will be operational by September, 2025.
“Our children will now be using tablets to study and teachers smart boards to teach while the student would learn about artificial intelligence, robotics and others that will make them technological inclined,” he said.
The governor said that the government was building type two Primary Health Centres across the 260 wards to reduce infant and maternal mortality in the state.
Mbah said that it had already awarded 30 contracts for the health centers and about to award 100 more.
He pledged to designed a programme to ensure students palliative and also sustain the state’s Scholarship Board.
On tax, Dr. Mbah said his administration had not increased tax rate, rather expanded tax net with formidable commitment to enforcing the already existing tax laws in the state.
On the challenges of water supply in the state, the governor warned tanker drivers to desist from sabotaging government efforts on the water project, vowing that anyone caught will be made to face the full wrath of the law.
