Gov. Peter Mbah of Enugu State has said that the state would pursue the dreams of its founding fathers through innovative governance.
This is contained in a statement by Mr Dan Nwomeh, Senior Special Assistance on Mainstream Media to the governor in Enugu.
Mbah said his administration was determined to realise the goals and dreams of the state’s founding fathers through innovation and undisturbed governance.
“I salute the determination and sacrifices of our founding fathers and all those that contributed in one way or the other in the tortuous journey of ensuring that the quest for a state of our own came to fruition.
“We will never take their sacrifices for granted.
“Our agenda is to immortalise them by fashioning out a state that they would be proud of and a state that would stand as a reference point in socio-economic transformation in the country.
“Over the past 32 years, we have witnessed some commendable transformations aimed at sustaining the dreams of our founding fathers,” Mbah said
The governor explained that his administration was not inclined to the incremental model, because the world was fast evolving through technologies and new ways of doing things.
“We started this by laying a new foundation that will disrupt the sub-optimisation in governance. We have started doing things differently because we want a state where posterity will be kind to us.
“We want a state where our children will judge us fairly and a state where poverty will be a thing of the past.
“We understand that these are not going to be easy but with your support, and our commitment to our governance philosophy, I can say we will get there faster than ever imagined, he assured.
