On August 27, 2019, Enugu State will mark 28 years of its creation. The epoch-making event no doubt calls for celebration in appreciation of the manifestation of God’s goodness in the State.



Enugu has come a long way as the capital city of Nigeria’s Eastern Region; defunct State of Biafra; East Central State; old Anambra State; old Enugu State, when Abakaliki (now Ebonyi State) was part of it and the present Enugu State. Politically and socio-culturally, Enugu remains home to all Igbos. It continues to play a key role in the socio-political cum economic life of Ndigbo and Nigeria.



Created as an urban settlement in 1909, following the discovery of coal, Enugu was made the administrative headquarters during the amalgamation of the Northern and Southern Protectorates of Nigeria, in 1914. It retained the status in 1929, when the Province of Southern Nigeria was created and has continued to forge a common force for peace, unity and progress.



Enugu remains emblematic of Ndigbo and beyond, having produced a handful of legends and iconic national leaders who contributed immensely to the development of the state and the Nigerian Project. These greats include Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, Professor Eyo Ita, Dr. Michael Okpara, Dr. Akanu Ibiam, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, Dr. Ukpabi Asika, Senator Jim Ifeanyichukwu Nwobodo and Chief C.C Onoh, a host of others.



In their respective roles as Premiers, Administrators and Governors of Eastern Region, East Central State and Old Anambra State, they were tenacious indeed in their vision and diligent development of the present Enugu State.



The struggle for the creation of Enugu State came into limelight following the sustained agitation against social injustice meted to a people (Wawa) who were “honest, patient, intelligent and hardworking”. It was a misconception of these honesty, truthfulness and dignified attitude of the people of Wawa-speaking area (Enugu and Abakaliki) as a complex issue by the people now known as Anambra State and Imo State.

The creation of Enugu State, 28 years ago, therefore birthed unbridled excitement and sense of accomplishment for those who painstakingly, doggedly and tirelessly lent their voices and struggled for the emancipation of the Wawa people of Igboland.



These retinue of great minds, who are indeed the founding fathers of Enugu State, include; Chief C.C Onoh, Igwe Charles Abangwu, Igwe J.U Nwodo, Chief Enechi Onyia, SAN, Justice M.U Obayi, Chief C.U Oputa, Chief Dan Ogbobe, Senator Isaiah Ani, Hon. Petrus Agballah, Mr T.C Chigbo, Chief J.C.P Nwagu, Chief D.O. Nnamani, Igwe Edward Nnaji, Chief C.N Nnaji, Dr. A. Nnamani, Chief E.A Ede, Chief P.C. Ndu, Chief V. Agana, Igwe Justice Eze Ozobu, Chief C.O.B Eche, Igwe Udemgaba Maduka, Igwe Agom Eze, Igwe Abel Nwobodo, Dr. Nduka Eya, Chief Dan Agbo, Justice Achi Kanu,, Igwe Christopher Ezea, Igwe J.A.C Ngwu and Alhaji Abdulaziz Udeh.



Others include, Chief B.C Okwu, Justice Anthony Aniagolu, Justice Nnaemeka Agu, Igwe E.A. Chime, Chief E.A. Nnaji, Chief E.C Nnaedozie, Chief F.A Oji, Chief G.U Ochi, Chief N.N Onugu, Chief S.C Ogbodo, Chief M.A Obeagu, Mazi O.J Edeoga, Chief D.C. Ugwu, Chief R.O. Ukuta, Chief M. Ekwueme, V.A Nwalieji, Chief P.U Obodeze, Chief A.C Nweke, Mr B.C Onuora, L.O Nnaji, J.U Adonu, Patrick Ugwuanyi, Chief B.O.M. Edeoga, Professor Godwin Odenigwe, Professor Lawrence Ocho, Ambassador Justina Eze and all other heroes and heroines of Enugu State origin.

They had courage, made sacrifices and were resolute in their struggle to achieve the desired end and posterity will forever remember them in highest esteem for they indeed occupy a special place in the lexicon of Enugu State. Also to be remembered in a special way, are the courage and sacrifices of the likes of Late Chief Onyeama N’ Eke and members of the Enugu Aborigines Improvement Union who sowed the seed for the struggle against the oppression and subjugation of the Wawa people of Igboland as far back as the 1920’s.

During the Silver Jubilee of Enugu State, three years ago, the present Governor of Enugu State, Rt. Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, had dutifully recognized the contributions of the above listed leaders including those now in the present Ebonyi and Anambra states who also offered invaluable assistance towards the struggle for the creation of the state.

Kudos must also go to those who had presided over the affairs of the State since its creation. They include, Col Herbert Obi Eze, Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo, Navy Captain Temi Ejoor, Colonel Mike Torey, Col. Sule Ahman, Navy Captain Adewunmi Agbaje, Dr. Chimaroke Nnamani, and Barr. Sullivan I. Chime.

Today, Enugu State, under the dynamic leadership of Gov. Ugwuanyi, has kept faith with the dreams and aspirations of its founding fathers.

The state continues to occupy its pride of place as home to all, a model of peace and good governance and one of the most peaceful and secure states in Nigeria, to live and do business.

Enugu State, under Gov. Ugwuanyi, has also gone beyond the horizon of parochialism, to promote the principles of love, unity and peace among the political, religious and traditional institutions, which the former Secretary-General and now President-General of Enugu State Development Association (ESDA), Chief Enechi Onyia, identified as one of the cardinal dreams and aspirations of the founding fathers of Enugu State.

Chief Onyia, who attributed the developmental strides in the Coal City State to the peace and good governance initiatives of Gov. Ugwuanyi, said that, “There is very significant peace in Enugu State,” stressing that “without peace there is no progress”.

It is on record that Gov. Ugwuanyi, through his administration’s peace and grassroots development initiatives, has ensured that more infrastructural developments are concentrated in the rural areas than in the urban centres, to give the rural dwellers a sense of belonging and open up their areas for socio-economic expansion. His administration has continued with some uncompleted projects of past administrations such as the Enugu International Conference Centre and the Enugu State Medical Diagnostic Centre.

Just recently, the peace-loving governor broke a record when he finally settled an age-long inter-communal dispute between Oruku and Umuode communities in Nkanu East Local Government Area, which had lasted for over 25 years, despite interventions by past administrations.

During their thank-you visit to the governor, the jubilant people of both communities, through the traditional ruler of Umuode Autonomous Community, HRH Igwe Moses Idenyi, described Gov. Ugwuanyi as “a wonderful and honest man” and “God’s gift to mankind”, who brought light over darkness in our communities, stressing that, “words of thanksgiving cannot be enough for you”.

According to him, “my people were enemies before, but today, we are here clapping hands, thanking God because you (Ugwuanyi) made it possible”.

Indeed, the governor’s uncommon leadership style has ushered in the wind of peace and a revolutionary infrastructural rebirth in the local communities of Enugu State, reinvigorating the passionate vision of the state’s founding fathers to give every Wawa man a sense of belonging, irrespective of class or social status.

Through the rural development initiatives, such as the “One Community One Project” programme and a great deal of passion for the wellbeing of the masses, Gov. Ugwuanyi has remembered the long-neglected communities in the state in line with his firm commitment to the founding fathers’ aspirations.

It would be recalled that Gov. Ugwuanyi in his first term inaugural address, on May 29, 2015, recommitted himself to the aspirations of the founding fathers of Enugu State to “take up the gauntlet of the struggle for the emancipation of the Wawa man from where our heroes past stopped”.

The governor proclaimed that God Almighty has anointed him for a mission - “to bring good news, message of continued hope, peace and development to our people; to bind up the broken-hearted; to proclaim liberty to every Wawa man caught in the prison of poverty and under-development”, promising: “And these, I owe you and my God to fulfill”.

He also vowed, in accordance with the ideals and aspirations of the founding fathers of Enugu State, to “deploy government services to create fair and equal opportunity for every willing citizen to make a living, educate our children, and enjoy life in a peaceful and secure environment” while driving with full force, investment promotion, agricultural sector renewal, provision of critical infrastructure, human capital development and skill acquisition.

Gov. Ugwuanyi equally pledged, among other things, to pursue employment generation, enhanced social services and good governance, rural development, security and justice.

Four years down the line, the people’s governor, in spite of the daunting and severe economic challenges that confronted the nation when he assumed office, has entrusted Enugu State to the hands of God and placed it on a pedestal of peace, good governance, innovation, inclusive leadership and participatory democracy.

His humble disposition, honesty, simplicity, candour, good works and uncommon leadership style of inclusive governance and open-door policy delivered the message of hope and rekindled the confidence of the people in participatory democracy. He has bound up the broken-hearted with a wind of peace that has united everybody in the state, especially the political leaders irrespective of class, religion, socio-economic and political background. This cherished ambiance of peace and unity has remained the pillar of his administration’s success story and one of the major reasons for this 28th anniversary celebration.

The governor’s commitment to the principles of transparency, accountability, due process and prudent management of the state’s lean resources, has ensured delivery of democracy dividends to the doorsteps of the people.



While workers’ salaries and pensions are paid regularly with or without the receipt of the statutory allocations from the federation account - even at the time 27 states could not pay, including the 13th month salary as Christmas bonus, over 400 kilometres of roads spread across the state have been covered with signature projects such as the remodeled ancient, historic and undulating Milliken Hill road and the Opi-Nsukka dual carriageway.

Scholarships were granted to 680 indigent students of Enugu State Polytechnic, Iwollo, Ezeagu Local Government Area and the Institute of Management and Technology, Enugu, for four years of academic studies in all engineering programmes of the institutions. The Enugu State Traders Empowerment Scheme, launched to assist traders in the state to grow their various businesses through monthly raffle draw has so far benefited 3,600 traders who emerged winners of N50,000 each.

While assessing the governor’s achievements in line with the state’s founding fathers’ dreams, Chief Onyia said that “the governor has gone to the extent of trying to meet the needs of the generality of the people”, pointing out that “he went to the market place and started helping them because he wants to increase the economy - that is philosophic too”.

On security, while Enugu remains one of the safest states in the country, the state government has continued with its measures to strengthen the security architecture of the state. Consequently, the state has commenced the overhauling of Vigilante/Neighborhood Watch groups and recruitment of 1,700 Forest Guards in the 17 local government areas for maximum effectiveness; presentation of an Anti-Kidnapping Bill to the State Assembly as an Executive Bill; payment of 5,200 Vigilante/Neighborhood Watch personnel comprising 20 persons per ward as well as intensive clearing of bushes, which serve as hideouts for kidnappers and other criminal elements, among other interventions.



The state’s traditional rulers, the Catholic Diocese of Enugu and other churches, the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Nnia Nwodo, among others, have expressed satisfaction with the governor’s untiring efforts and the recent measures so far taken by his administration to enhance security as well as nip in the bud all criminal elements in the state.

Determined to fully actualize the dreams of the founding fathers of Enugu State, Gov. Ugwuanyi, on assumption of office for a second term, has taken an apt and innovative step by constituting 12 Sectoral ad-hoc committees to review programmes, policies and activities of his administration in the last four years and make recommendations that would assist his government to reposition the state’s public service for optimized service delivery and advancement of good governance in the state.

As the committees have submitted their weighty recommendations on how to optimize service delivery and advance good governance in the state, the stage is now set for the constitution of the implementation team, which has commenced with the submission of the first batch of Commissioner nominees to the State House of Assembly for consideration and possible confirmation, for the people of Enugu State to continue to enjoy more dividends of democracy.

Happy 28th Anniversary, Ndi Enugu, the true heroes of democracy. Enugu State is truly in the hands of God.

Nobody like Justice M.U Obayi, it's either Justice A.B.N Obayi or Chief M.U Obayi
Congratulations to Enugu state I pray the current Governor can do more in areas of Agriculture, Industries and rural development rather than dancing to the tune of sycophants everywhere

So Enugu is just 28?
That's surprising, I would need to verify this information.

Holy Ghost road need dualization. motorist finds it difficult due to exercise marketers enclosing the run-way-road. Is either the traders are relocated to a structured market or a dualization to accommodate all for easy traffic.

Kwa kwa kwa make sure you reduce the okoroans from migrating like Monkeys,they are desecrating our land

[quote author=Dottore post=81584834]The truth is that God will one day punish all these propagandists and sycophants that are flooding all social media with fake news about my dear home State.

Enugu State is in a terrible mess now:

This man has never paid any gratuity since he assumed office in 2015. Stipends for pensioners are in areers of more than 12 months and counting.

There are countless cases of insecurity.

All the roads in Uwani, Kenyetta Road, the whole of Idaw River Layout (umuchu, Mount, Ikiriki, Omachiana, Ozalla) as well as the road to the residential settlement behind Guru Maharaji (Aria Road) are amongst the worst, look at the whole Achara Layout: Awkunanaw Street, Etudo, Obianodo, Igbariam, Ubaka to mention but a few.

Terrible is the road leading to Akwuke (and all its adjoining roads) located after Garriki Park before UBA. Worse is the road after MTD Garriki leading to Macdevous hotel axis and all its tributaries.

I don't want to talk about the roads in Abakpa or the ones in Emene but remember to wear diving gears if you want to follow Annunciation HOSPITAL road or Sooil Plaza Road. Ebony Paint Road as well as One-Day road are terribly in deplorable conditions
your ranting here won't do,
just take a simple step, take the pics of these areas and send it personally to him, or maybe, publish it on daily news papers, worked in my area, we did same and now, the road is under construction..........
For gratuity, u re right, though Sullivan too took lots of years to pay his, not like they don't want to pay, but you should understand that, the money ain't there, that's the simple truth.
For pensions, i don't know what you are really saying, cuz my Dad receives his every single month, unless you are talking about local government retirees, that one is plainly not under the Governor's control, but the LGA chairman.

I will like to buy your TV but I need your number. O42 for life.

Elvis778:

wrong man, wrong.....

That man is nothing but a useless incompetent governor. Worst governor in enugu

There is no founding father nor a dream in Enugu. Ugwauyi is Ekweremadu’s stooge n they are only there to loot. Ipob understands this and that is why Ekweremadu was beaten blueblack in German & also the reason why Enugu as been deteriorating since Chime left.

Cosmatikka:
Enugu state is the only state been governed by women.
A woman governor
A woman deputy governor

You that is a man with balls, what are your achievements and contributions towards the state. Mind you that you are talking about one of the successful political entity of our time. A sitting governor and a senator in waiting. Bro make contributions and pray for them instead of abusing someone

042 born. Fast rising State. Attaining greater heights every now and then. HBD to my Coal City State! My home...#NwaEnugu.

this baby elephant of a governor that wants to tax companies to death.
if any governor wants industries to grow and even encourage more investors,he should relax taxes.
at a time. last year he closed paladium hotel for a week because of tax.
wicked baby elephant that thinks only about himself

It is obvious that Ugwuanyi has been sponsoring you guys to come here and deceive the gullible public, but most importantly, non- inhabitants of Enugu state. We that are always in Enugu know your lies. I just hate psychophany. Can people not just speak the truth for the benefit of the majority? Why would you come here to deceive the people just to collect money and leave the majority of the people to suffer for your greed. Ugwuanyi is, to me, the
worst governor Enugu has got in recent time. He is devoid of vision and lacks any sense of innovation. He busies himself erecting signboards to advertise his fat face and body. Pass ANY stretch of road in Enugu and count the number of signboards of him been advertised. They run into thousands - all erected with the people's money. I assure you that you ain't popular with the people of Enugu Mr Governor. You use Catholicism to hoodwink the majority Catholics in Enugu but most still know your cluelessness. The greatest disservice Sullivan Chime did to Enugu state was projecting Ugwuanyi and making him governor after him. Sullivan so laboured and served Enugu state, even with failing health, until Enugu became the pride of all inhabitants. This Ugwuanyi is comfortably sitting and overseeing the erosion and destruction of all the beautiful works of Sullivan. I remember when one would drive round major roads and streets in Enugu and find near zero potholes. Today every motorists have a different story. Street lights are dysfunctional, traffic lights are broken, left unfixed and not working. To increase IGR he uses MOT pers onnel to harrass and extort money
from motorists. He hasn't espoused any novel idea. The governor's best moments are partying and celebrations - just as he is preparing for the 28 anniversary. He celebrates his birthday every year with state money. Retirees of water corporation are dying one by one many years after with
no gratuities paid. Ugwuanyi is doing nothing about that. When the retirees went to complain to him, as usual, he gave
then
10 million naira
cash to share. He didn't address their gratuities need. No concrete plan nor idea on how to pay them. Share the money because nobody will ask him how he spent them. Enugu l is just enduring Ugwuanyi. Period.

Toroso:
There is no founding father nor a dream in Enugu. Ugwauyi is Ekweremadu’s stooge n they are only there to loot. Ipob understands this and that is why Ekweremadu was beaten blueblack in German & also the reason why Enugu as been deteriorating since Chime left.

mumu govnor u never find the murder of the rev father in your soil.. u de talk of father...

Taking pictures of areas that need attention is like Taki g the whole picture of Enugu metropolis that why I took that to mention each of the areas. The sycophants keep hiding the post.

The pension is from the state govt bro not the LG chairmen. The chairmen are just recently autonomous.

Baroba:
What a bloody lie, my mother in law have not seen her pension in fourteen months..

... But your people voted massively for him (governor) ... Papa Deceiving Pikin. (PDP)

Why would you come here to deceive the people just to collect money and leave the majority of the people to suffer for your greed. Ugwuanyi is, to me, the
worst governor Enugu has got in recent time. He is devoid of vision and lacks any sense of innovation. He busies himself erecting signboards to advertise his fat face and body. Pass ANY stretch of road in Enugu and count the number of signboards of him been advertised. They run into thousands - all erected with the people's money. I assure you that you ain't popular with the people of Enugu Mr Governor. You use Catholicism to hoodwink the majority Catholics in Enugu but most still know your cluelessness. The greatest disservice Sullivan Chime did to Enugu state was projecting Ugwuanyi and making him governor after him. Sullivan so laboured and served Enugu state, even with failing health, until Enugu became the pride of all inhabitants. This Ugwuanyi is comfortably sitting and overseeing the erosion and destruction of all the beautiful works of Sullivan. I remember when one would drive round major roads and streets in Enugu and find near zero potholes. Today every motorists have a different story. Street lights are dysfunctional, traffic lights are broken, left unfixed and not working. To increase IGR he uses MOT pers onnel to harrass and extort money
from motorists. He hasn't espoused any novel idea. The governor's best moments are partying and celebrations - just as he is preparing for the 28 anniversary. He celebrates his birthday every year with state money. Retirees of water corporation are dying one by one many years after with
no gratuities paid. Ugwuanyi is doing nothing about that. When the retirees went to complain to him, as usual, he gave
then
10 million naira
cash to share. He didn't address their gratuities need. No concrete plan nor idea on how to pay them. Share the money because nobody will ask him how he spent them. Enugu l is just enduring Ugwuanyi. Period.

Oga..., I don't even know you know politics to this extent and I didn't see your posters contesting again the current enugu state government. Go rest my guy because I don't know anything about governance. Don't forget you are talking to one of the most successful politician of our time. You can learn more with your goggle and keyboard

Elvis778:

your ranting here won't do,
just take a simple step, take the pics of these areas and send it personally to him, or maybe, publish it on daily news papers, worked in my area, we did same and now, the road is under construction..........
For gratuity, u re right, though Sullivan too took lots of years to pay his, not like they don't want to pay, but you should understand that, the money ain't there, that's the simple truth.
For pensions, i don't know what you are really saying, cuz my Dad receives his every single month, unless you are talking about local government retirees, that one is plainly not under the Governor's control, but the LGA chairman.

People liked your initial post in error after reading the post of the person you quoted.
Truth be told Ugwuanyi is a failure.

Dottore:

Taking pictures of areas that need attention is like Taki g the whole picture of Enugu metropolis that why I took that to mention each of the areas. The sycophants keep hiding the post.

The pension is from the state govt bro not the LG chairmen. The chairmen are just recently autonomous.

Leave those funny peeps.
When deep potholes are springing up right in front of the government house.
The first okpara square roundabout has a pot hole that has been neglected for months.
The road going to the industrial court adjacent to government house is almost cutting into two.

Pasima:
That man is nothing but a useless incompetent governor. Worst governor in enugu

y r u always insulting. What is wrong?
