Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu on Thursday inaugurated 20 newly appointed commissioners that would constitute the State Executive Council.

The governor, in his remarks, charged them to get down to work immediately as the administration was in a hurry to deliver on its campaign promises.

The newly sworn-in commissioners were Ndubueze Mbah, Ngozi Enih, Lawrence Ezeh, Sam Ugwu, Chika Ugwoke, Kingsley Udeh, and Emmanuel Obi.

Others are Okey Ogbodo, Dame Ugochi Madueke, Lloyd Ekweremadu, Gerald Otiji, Nathaniel Uramah, Malachy Agbo, and Aka Eze Aka.

The new commissioners include Adaora Chukwu, Martin Chinweike, Obi Ozor, Emeka Ajogwu, Chris Robert Ozongwu, Felix Nnamani, and Patrick Ubro.

The governor reiterated his commitment to the exponential growth of the state’s economy, speedy provision of socio-economic infrastructure, and human capital development in the state.

Mr Mbah said the new commissioners were products of a painstaking search for quality hands to help his administration to deliver on its manifesto.

He said the government promised to make Enugu people have access to quality education and healthcare services, as well as attract investments to the state, which required deploying the commissioners’ skills.

“We are also making sure that you acquire those new skills that we need to fix the challenges of breaking new grounds of economic development and growth.

“So, your selection was largely driven by your track-records, your experience, your background and it’s our hope that you are going to bring those experiences to bear and to work for the people of Enugu State,” the governor said.

Speaking on behalf of his colleagues, Martin Chukwunwike assured the governor that they would not fail him or the state.
