NEW: More gains of strategic connection to the centre, as President Tinubu directs the installation of solar-powered street lights from Enugu to Onitsha.
Truth be told, Tinubu has done a lot for Enugu under the visionary Governor Mbah. And Engr Dave Umahi is unarguably the best ever Minister of Works.
Ndi Enugu are increasingly seeing the clear benefits of aligning with the party at the centre of national power and politics.
• Under President Tinubu's administration, the South East Development Commission was established, with headquarters in Enugu.
• President approved the concession of the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, including the completion of the abandoned international terminal and the construction of a new cargo terminal, finally making the airport truly international and not merely in name. The first Nigerian airport to be successfully concessioned.
• President Tinubu, chairing the Federal Executive Council, approved ₦24 billion for the construction of the 82 Division/Abakpa Junction Flyover in Enugu.
• The President also approved the immediate and expedited reconstruction of the collapsed twin New Artisan Bridge.
• President Tinubu gave approval for the speedy construction of Eke Obinagu Flyover, Emene, in support of the dualisation of the 21.7km Abakaliki Road from the Airport Flyover to the Ebonyi State border by the Peter Mbah administration.
• The President approved the continued funding of the reconstruction of Enugu - Onitsha Expressway. See the transformation of the stretch from Abakpa Junction to Trans Ekulu flyover towards 9th Mile
• President Tinubu approved the ongoing dualization of the 9th Mile – Obollo Afor – Oturkpo highway after decades of neglect and abandonment.
• The President approved the release of funds for the continuation of the reconstruction of the Enugu–Port Harcourt Expressway.
• President Tibunu appointed an Enugu son, Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ikechukwu Ogalla as the Chief of the Naval Staff, and subsequently another Enugu son, Air Marshal Sunday Aneke, as the Chief of the Air Staff.
* Coming Soon: Presidential approval secured for key infrastructure projects in Enugu and the South East
* Revitalisation of the Eastern Rail Line from Port Harcourt through Aba, Enugu, Ubahu, Eha Amufu, Oturkpo, Kafanchan, Kaduna, to Maiduguri.
* Extension of gas pipeline to Enugu to power industrialisation across the state.
• Let me stop for now. Doubters should please fact-check me.
