Olusegun wrote, “President Bola Tinubu touched down at the Enugu airport on a working visit to commission various projects by the state government.

“He is received by H.E Peter Mbah, the Executive Governor of Enugu State.

“President Bola Tinubu commissions the 135K road in Enugu Metropolis. PBAT says infrastructure is the back bone of development, congratulates Enugu Governor.”

Addressing Mbah during the event, Tinubu was quoted as saying, “Enugu is achieving great heights. Building our tomorrow, today. A leader like Governor Peter Mbah placing Enugu on the path of 21st-century development.

“You’re a good thinker, Mbah. You’re my friend. We can go places together. Building Nigeria. Building the future. Use technology to build. Promote investment. We must encourage the private sector to come into politics.”
