ENUGU’S GOVERNOR LIGHTS UP THE NGE CONVENTION: “TOMORROW IS HERE!”

When Enugu’s Governor Peter Mbah took the stage at the Nigerian Guild of Editors’ biennial convention, he didn’t just welcome the media elite—he issued a rallying cry for truth, transformation, and teamwork. Democracy’s torchbearers, meet your new spotlight city!
Governor Mbah rolled out the red carpet in Enugu, reminding everyone that this city isn’t just a historical landmark—it’s a buzzing hub of progress and promise. Celebrating Nigeria’s 26 years of democracy, he saluted the press as the nation’s “lamp and mirror,” lighting the way and reflecting society’s truths.
But Enugu isn’t resting on history. With 260 wards each boasting Smart Green Schools, state-of-the-art healthcare centers, and sprawling farm estates, the state is rewriting the playbook on inclusion and innovation. From slashing crime by 80% with high-tech surveillance to launching Nigeria’s first zip line and canopy walkways, Enugu is sprinting into the future.
Governor Mbah challenged editors to keep the media fearless and fair, a watchdog that walks alongside power—not behind it. He invited the press to scrutinize Enugu’s bold $30 billion economic vision and its push to become a top tourist and business destination.
His message? Democracy thrives on dialogue, not distance. Let’s polish the mirror, hold the lamp high, and tell Nigeria’s story with courage and clarity.
