A video is circulating of residents of Enugu in a celebratory mood singing and dancing as President Bola Tinubu arrives in the Southeast State.
On Saturday, December 4, 2025, President Tinubu visited to Enugu to inaugurate some completed projects undertaken by the administration of Governor Peter Mbah.
The projects included 30 of the 260 Smart Green Schools, 60 completed Type 2 Primary Health Centres, and a 19 kilometer Airport-New Haven – Bisalla and Okpara Square roads built by 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.
Tinubu praised Mbah for the projects and acknowledged the efforts and hardwork of the governor.
Speaking at the inauguration of the Command-and-Control Centre Tinubu said, “It is a great honour for me and I therefore, declare this project inaugurated.
“Infrastructural development is a must to attract local and foreign investment, create jobs and give all a better tomorrow from today.
“It reassures me that more revenue going to the sub-nationals and local governments is not a waste. It is for development.
“We have committed leaders like Peter Mbah taking Enugu on the path of 21st-century development, taking Enugu to greater heights, and building our tomorrow today.
“I cannot forget the sight of those children I just met at the Smart Green School.
“I have seen gadgets and vehicles with 21st-century technology. Yes, you are indeed working for today, tomorrow, and the future.
“My good friend Peter, we can go places together to build Nigeria and build the future.
“It is audacious to have this home filled with technology, and they are ready for use. To promote investment, I know you are a private sector person, and we must encourage more private sector people to come into politics.
“When you are sure of security and development and give value for money, investors will be your friend.”
Tinubu’s visit attracted several residents to the streets as they cheered as the president’s convoy drove past.
