A Congratulatory Message to the Speaker of Enugu State House of Assembly

Your leadership and dedication have resulted in significant legislative achievements that promise to enhance the quality of life for all residents of Enugu State.
The passage of the Enugu State Electricity Regulatory Commission Bill 2024 stands out as a monumental step towards improving the power sector in our state. This legislation will undoubtedly pave the way for more efficient electricity supply and regulation, benefiting both businesses and households.
Your commitment to protecting property rights through the Bill for Forceful Entry into Landed Properties is commendable. This bill addresses a critical issue and ensures that property owners are safeguarded against unlawful invasions, fostering a more secure environment for investment and development.
The establishment of the School of Medical and Applied Sciences (SUMAS) Teaching Hospital, along with the School of Nursing Sciences in Parklane and Agwu, is a testament to your vision for advancing healthcare and education in Enugu State. These institutions will not only provide top-tier medical education but also improve healthcare services, directly impacting the well-being of our people.
Your dedication to community security is evident in the Enugu State Neighborhood Watch Amendment Bill. Strengthening neighborhood watch programs will enhance safety and build a stronger sense of community among residents, making our neighborhoods safer and more cohesive.
