Abia State Governor Dr. Alex C. Otti, OFR, has congratulated his brother and colleague, Dr. Peter Mbah, Governor of Enugu State, on the conferment of a Doctor of Law Degree, honoris causa, by his alma mater, the University of East London, in the United Kingdom (UK)
The honour was conferred on Gov. Mbah in recognition of his contributions to governance and public service.
Gov. Otti described the honour as a well-deserved recognition of Gov. Mbah’s leadership and commitment to the development of Enugu State.
“Your Excellency, this honour from the University of East London is a testament to the impact of your administration in Enugu State,” Gov Otti stated in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary (CPS), Citizen Ukoha Njoku Ukoha, and made available to SummitNews.
The University specifically hailed Gov. Mbah’s investment in education and his philosophy that “education is fundamentally the cornerstone of human progress, the bedrock upon which the future stands” – a value that resonates strongly with the institution.
Gov. Otti noted that the award reflects the confidence reposed in Gov. Mbah and the progress being recorded in Enugu under his watch.
“As leaders in the South East, we share a common vision to rebuild our region and make it a hub of commerce, industry and innovation in Nigeria. Your commitment to good governance is encouraging,” he stated.
Gov. Otti prayed that the honour will spur Gov. Mbah to greater service to Enugu State and to the Nation at large.
He wished the Enugu State Governor continued wisdom, strength and success as he pilots the affairs of the state.
