President Bola Tinubu, on Saturday, arrived Enugu on his first state visit and inaugurated some completed projects embarked on by the administration of Gov Peter Mbah.

Some of the projects the president inaugurated included 30 of the 260 Smart Green Schools, 60 completed Type 2 Primary Health Centres, and 19-kilometre Airport-New Haven – Bisalla and Okpara Square roads built by Mr Mbah’s administration.

Other projects inaugurated were the completed International Conference Centre and the state-of-the-art command and control centre with 150 patrol vehicles fitted with AI-embedded surveillance cameras.

This is the first time a sitting president has paid an official visit to the state in over 10 years.

Inaugurating the projects, Mr Tinubu lauded Mr Mbah for the projects, saying, “Infrastructural development is a must to attract local and foreign investment, create jobs and give all a better tomorrow from today.

“It is a great honour for me and I, therefore, declare this project inaugurated.

Earlier, Mr Mbah said the Airport-New Haven – Bisalla and Okpara Square roads 19 kilometers represented 85 urban roads his administration constructed between October 2023 and October 2024.

“We are proud and grateful to have Mr President in Enugu and have him inaugurate these roads and others,” Mr Mbah said.
