Mbah’s Two Years of Security Assurance and Rising Investments in Enugu State Get link Facebook X Pinterest Email Other Apps June 03, 2025 By Prince Ejeh Josh For decades, the South East geopolitical zone of Nigeria, including Enugu State, grappled with endemic security challenges that sabotaged progress, dislocated local economies, and scared off investment. From the harrowing Monday sit-at-home orders enforced by criminal non-state actors to the rampaging violence of terrorist herdsmen and kidnappings that left citizens in terror, the region’s development trajectory hung precariously on the edge. But in the past two years, Enugu has undergone a dramatic transformation. At the heart of this renaissance is Governor Peter Mbah, whose ironclad commitment to security and economic revitalization is rewriting the state’s narrative. Governor Mbah came into office with a bold, structured vision: to reposition Enugu as the premier destination for investment, tourism, and sustainable living. But he understood that no meaningful development could occur in an atmosphere of fear and insecurity. His government, therefore…

Enugu's Insecurity Crisis And The Dangerous Culture of Denial Basil Ani Share Tweet The escalating wave of violence, kidnapping, and criminality across Enugu State has laid bare a disturbing reality; the government is either overwhelmed, indifferent, or deliberately choosing silence over accountability. Daily, residents of Enugu State are subjected to kidnappings, armed robbery, violent attacks, and murder, while the government continues to engage in what can only be described as media manipulation and narrative whitewashing. The recent heinous attack by suspected armed herdsmen on the residence of the highly decorated and loved serving Deputy Inspector-General of Police (DIG), Frank Mba, in Udenu Local Government Area is one of such ugly insecurity. The attackers stormed the area, causing panic and inflicting terror on locals, an incident that should have served as a red alert. But what did the Enugu State Government do? – Barely a whisper, no urgency, no clear response, no honest communication with the public. The same pattern of denial and suppression played out once again. Attacking a prominent and cherished law enforcement figure’s home emphasizes that no one is safe, regardl…
