Gov Mbah bags NEAPS infrastructural devt award
Politics
GOV. Peter Mbah of Enugu State, has bagged the Distinguished Award for Infrastructure at the Nigeria Excellence in Public Service Awards, (NEAPS), for his impactful road infrastructural interventions in the state.
Mbah was presented the NEAPS award by Vice President Kashim Shettima, who represented President Bola Tinubu, at the Aso Presidential Villa, Abuja, at the weekend.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Mbah had also received a presidential award for his contributions to Micro, Small, and Medium Scale Enterprises (MSMEs) at the 2024 National MSMEs Awards by the Office of the Vice President on May 28.
During the awards presentation, Tinubu had charged public servants to live up to their expectation as a public trust.
He said NEAPS, an initiative of the private sector and the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, OSGF, was strategic to inspire the bulk of the nation’s workforce.
Speaking to newsmen, Mbah, who appreciated the organisers for recognising his administration’s effort in the area of infrastructural development, said he would continue to work hard to improve the lives of citizens of his state through infrastructure provision.
“First of all, we are grateful to the organisers of this NEAPS event and the OSGF. We are very grateful that our modest efforts in revamping our roads are gaining some recognition. So, for us, the award is a mark that we are doing the right thing.
“However, as I said earlier, success abhors complacency, and this is going to only spur us to do even more. So, as we leave here today, we are going to hit the road to ensure that all our roads in Enugu state are paved, both the rural roads and the urban roads.
“As you are probably aware, besides the initial 71 urban roads already recorded, and the ongoing major inter-local government roads, some of which will equally serve as gateways to our neighbouring regions, we are commencing work on 80 other roads.
“So, our work is far from being done. This is just going to give us the kick we need to hit the road, doing much more,” said Mbah. (NAN)
