Enugu State Governor, Dr Peter Mbah joined a House of Representatives member, Dennis Agbo to commission five major school projects in Igbo-Eze North/Udenu Federal Constituency, marking Agbo’s 100 days in office.
The projects include; A block of Seven classrooms and two offices, at Umuegali Amalla in Udenu Local Government Area, a block of six classrooms at Community Secondary School Imufu, four classroom block at Comprehensive Secondary School Ekposhi, Examination Hall and ICT building at Community High School Uda, in Igbo-Eze North Local Government Area.
Community leaders praised Agbo for attracting and completing these projects in record time. Agbo, who represents Igbo-Eze North/Udenu Federal Constituency, was elected under the Labour Party in February 2023 but faced disruptions due to court challenges.
Governor Mbah, represented by Education Commissioner Prof. Ndubueze Mba, acknowledged the synergy between effective governance and representation. Community leaders and school principals commended both Mbah and Agbo for their efforts in providing educational infrastructure, including the ongoing construction of 260 smart schools in the State.
“The people who are enjoying these democratic endeavors are the people that Honourable represents, and the citizens of Enugu state in general who are led by our Governor. It has been a richly rewarding experience and I’ll provide the governor a full brief on my excursion here,” Prof Mbah said.
Agbo expressed gratitude to his constituents and praised Governor Mbah as a worthy partner. He emphasized the importance of education in empowering children and driving human capital development.
The community leaders and the Principals of the affected schools paid glowing tributes to both Governor Peter Mbah and Rep Dennis AGBO, for their giant strides in providing quality educational infrastructure for human capital development of constituents and citizens of Enugu state.
Expressing appreciation to Agbo for attracting the projects, community leaders, including Prince Emeka Eze of Amalla in Udenu LGA; Chief Abel Idoko of Ekposhi Enugu-Ezike, HRH Igwe Remigus Attah of Imufu and Ichie Peter Ugwuja of Udah, in Igboeze north LGA, described Agbo as a good representative with integrity and track record of excellence.
They also lauded Governor Peter Mbah who Chief Idoko noted that his governance has been characterized by “business unusual and disruptive innovation in all sectors.” Ichie Ugwuja recalled that Rep Dennis Agbo had earlier remodeled college buildings such as the old dormitory and laboratory blocks in Uda High School, together with other community development projects.
Agbo in his remarks gave commendation to Governor Peter Mbah, stating that the governor is a worthy partner whose hard work propels him to seek budgetary provisions for his constituency and the state.
Agbo said, “We’re taking after the Governor. Education is the enabling factor for the future because if you educate a child, you empower him. All we are doing is to contribute our own quota to elevate that initiative, bringing the resources from the center, the federal government where we operate, to support what the Governor is doing.
“Education is the key in human capital development. Imagine a remodeled and equipped Secondary School, and a Smart School, next door in Udah. The confidence these will engineer in children in the next five years is unimaginable. I thank my constituents who are wonderful people. They support me and I continue to working hard for them.”
