Former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Kingsley Moghalu, has praised the administration of Peter Mbah following a meeting held at the Government House in Enugu.
Moghalu disclosed on his X account that he was received by Governor Mbah on Tuesday evening at his office, where both men discussed the ongoing development and transformation taking place across the state.
According to him, the progress being made in Enugu is encouraging and necessary because of the state’s strategic role in the Southeast region. He noted that Enugu remains the political capital of Southeastern Nigeria due to its historical role as the capital of the old Eastern Region before 1967 and, later, of East Central State between 1967 and 1976.
The former presidential candidate stated that the state’s transformation could no longer be delayed. He added that the governor appears focused on strengthening institutions as part of efforts to drive development and economic growth.

He further congratulated the governor on what he described as achievements. These achievements have been recorded so far in the areas of governance and economic development. He wished him continued success in office.
