Yesterday was more than a visit. It was a powerful reminder that the future already has a voice, and it is bold, united, and deeply invested in the progress of Enugu State.
I welcomed over 200 student leaders and stakeholders representing NANS, NAUS, NAPS, NFSAN, NACESS, NUNS, FEWS, FANS, NSLC, and other student bodies, whose endorsement and collective โฆ100 million contribution towards my nomination reflected their high confidence in the journey we have begun together.
To the young people of our state, I hear you, I value you, and I remain committed to creating an Enugu where your ambitions can truly thrive.

Before the first whistle was blown yesterday, I joined our dear Rangers team at the stadium to share in the spirit, belief, and determination that defines Enugu.
Rangers is more than a football club; it is a symbol of our resilience, pride, and unity as a people. We stood firmly behind the team as they stepped onto the pitch today.
Our mission has never been limited to making Enugu the number one destination for investment. We are building a state the world will come to experience.
From the coming Zipline adventure to the Water Park, the breathtaking Ngwo Park, and the Canopy Walkway, we are opening up a new face of tourism that reflects the beauty, energy, and possibilities of Enugu.
We are creating more than infrastructure. We are creating destinations, experiences, and memories that will position Enugu as a leading hub for both business and leisure.

There are some lives whose impact speaks louder than words ever can, and His Excellency, ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฌ๐ก๐๐ ๐๐๐ง๐๐ญ๐จ๐ซ ๐๐ข๐ฆ ๐๐ฐ๐จ๐๐จ๐๐จ, is one of them.
At 86, his journey remains a constant reminder that leadership and service are not defined by a season, but by a lifetime of dedication to people and society.
Today, we celebrate a statesman, a bridge builder, and a man whose legacy continues to stand tall decades after his time in office. Across Enugu, Anambra, and parts of present-day Ebonyi, the imprint of his administration is still visible, a testament to visionary leadership that outlives its era.
We are proud to continue building on foundations laid by leaders like him.
On behalf of my family, the Government, and the good people of Enugu State, I warmly congratulate Senator Jim Nwobodo on his 86th birthday.
May God continue to bless him with strength, peace, good health, and many more years of wisdom and service.
The Enugu International Hospital is no longer just a vision on paper. At 85% completion, it stands as a bold statement of our commitment to building a healthcare system that meets global standards and restores confidence in medical care within our state.
Every detail reflects excellence. From the architectural design to the cutting edge medical equipments being installed, this facility is being built to deliver world class healthcare, research, emergency response, and specialized treatment in an environment that places dignity, comfort, and human life first.
Beyond serving Ndi Enugu, this hospital is positioned to attract patients from across Nigeria, Africa, and the world. It represents hope for families seeking quality care, confidence for medical professionals, and a future where our people no longer need to look beyond our borders for advanced healthcare services.
You cannot have a productive state if you donโt have healthy people.

We are focused on building infrastructure that solves real problems and improves daily life across every part of our state.
