Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, has called on Nigerians to remain optimistic and united in the face of current challenges. He noted that while the anniversary may be low-key, Nigeria’s progress as an independent nation is undeniable. “At 65, our independence is a reminder of what we can achieve as a people when we are united. Mbah also highlighted the progress made in Enugu State under his administration, saying, “In Enugu State, this Independence Day is a fitting occasion to recommit to our pledge to make inclusion the cornerstone of government policy; to create wealth and deploy it for the benefit of everyone in Enugu State. “Enugu State is no doubt on the pathway to assured turnaround and exponential economic growth,” Mbah added.
