A group of technocrats, Body of Permanent Secretaries in Enugu State has commended Governor Peter Mbah for rapid positive transformation within the state.

This is contained in a birthday congratulatory message to the governor on Tuesday by the Chairman of the group, Dr Benedict Ezema, in Enugu.

Mr Ezema said the permanent secretaries “send special birthday wishes to the governor as he clocked 52, because of his focussed leadership and strict management of the state’s resources.”

According to him, Mr Mbah has refashioned the socioeconomic fortune and direction of Enugu State to make it progressive.

“Enugu State, under your leadership has experienced rapid positive transformation within a short period of time through the massive infrastructural provisions in all sectors of the economy.

“The massive infrastructural provision covers roads, water, schools, agriculture, human resources, Small and Medium Enterprises, finance and public service among others. The people are happy. We salute you and pray that God will keep leading you in the right direction,” he said.

Mr Ezema, who is the permanent secretary in the state’s Ministry of Information, said “the group wishes the governor many more years of sound health and vitality to continue his selfless service to the state and mankind in general.”

He added, “Happy birthday to the initiator of New Smart Enugu State.”
