Today, at the Council's Secretariat, I had an interactive session with the sixteen ward Councillors of our dear Local Government Area. The engagement reaffirmed our shared commitment to transformative leadership inspired by the governance model of His Excellency, Dr Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, whose vision of disruptive innovation and people-centred service continues to guide our work at the grassroots.

In our discussion, the Lawmakers reflected on several milestones we have achieved together. They acknowledged the ongoing reconstruction of our local government secretariat into an ultra modern edifice as well as the paving of the access road in the secretariat premises. They also highlighted the water borehole projects across the wards, the extensive road grading and soil stabilisation initiatives and the restoration of electricity in many communities along with other impactful projects touching the daily lives of our people. Above all, they commended the peace, stability and sense of inclusiveness that have flourished under our administration.

I expressed my sincere gratitude for their steadfast support and collaboration despite the various challenges we have confronted as a government and as a people. I reminded them that although their tenure is gradually approaching its climax, they must continue to see this period as a gateway to broader opportunities. The governance philosophy of His Excellency teaches us that every phase of service, when approached with excellence and innovation, becomes a stepping stone to greater possibilities.

I encouraged them to take full ownership of the ongoing projects in their respective wards and to ensure they are closely and properly monitored. Effective oversight at the community level is essential to sustaining the momentum of development and delivering outcomes that reflect the Renewed Hope Agenda we collectively uphold.

Indeed, we have grown into a formidable union. Our bond transcends official roles and will endure even beyond public office. Above everything else, we remain an indivisible family committed to accelerating growth, deepening peace and driving the transformation of Igbo-Eze South in alignment with what My Principal, Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, a man I usually describe as a "modern wonder in the realms of governance" is doing in the state.

Enugu First Lady Champions Girl-Child Empowerment as Igbo-Eze South Celebrates International Day of the Girl Child

In commemoration of the 2025 International Day of the Girl Child, the Igbo-Eze South Local Government, in collaboration with the Office of the First Lady, Enugu State and Custos Care Foundation, on Friday, 17th October 2025, hosted a transformative programme themed “The Girl I Am, The Change I Lead: Girls in the Frontlines of Crisis”, in celebration of the International Day of the Girl Child.

The event, held with the participation of young girls from different secondary schools across Igbo-Eze South, underscored the commitment of Her Excellency, Mrs Nkechinyere Mbah, to advancing the rights, voices and potentials of the girl child in Enugu State.

Represented by her Senior Special Assistant on Special Duties, Barr. Chidimma Egonu, Her Excellency Mrs Nkechinyere Ihuoma Mbah, whose passion for nurturing the potentials of young girls continues to shape progressive conversations across the state emphasised the need for collective action in empowering the young girls to become active agents of change.

“Every girl has a unique voice and an irreplaceable role in building the society we desire. Our duty as leaders, parents and mentors is to ensure that no girl is left behind, no dream is stifled and no ambition is diminished,” Her Excellency remarked.

In her opening address, the wife of the Chairman of Igbo-Eze South, Barr. Empress Ugo-Ferdinand, reaffirmed her commitment to complementing the vision of the Enugu State First Lady in creating an enabling environment for girls to thrive intellectually and socially.

The event featured a rich blend of inspirational talks and interactive sessions aimed at empowering the girl child to overcome societal stereotypes and embrace leadership roles with confidence and purpose.

The Managing Director of Custoscare Foundation, Comrade Egodi Blessing, delivered a session on "Breaking Stereotypes and Building Capacity." She inspired the students with stories of resilience and urged them to rise above limiting narratives and channel their energy towards productive ventures that would contribute to their growth.

In a deeply reflective session, Hon. Ego Aja, Member 3, ENSUBEB, addressed the growing menace of social vices among young people. She urged them to stay focused, uphold moral discipline and embrace education and creativity as tools for societal development. She maintained that greatness is not defined by gender, but by courage and purpose.

Furthermore, Nurse Blessing Ngwu sensitised participants on S*x Education and Health Hygiene, while Hon. Prisca Okeke, Special Assistant to the Governor on Youths and Students Affairs led a session on leadership, self-belief and responsibility.

Adding to the inspiring lineup, the Zonal Commander of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), Enugu Zonal Command, represented by Mrs Olayi Judith, Head of the Public Enlightenment Unit, led a deeply educative session on child trafficking and trafficking in persons. She sensitised the students on the dangers of trafficking, early warning signs and the importance of vigilance within their communities. She drew attention to the need for collective responsibility in protecting children and vulnerable persons from exploitation, aligning with global efforts to safeguard the dignity and future of every child.

The celebration was also laced with fun, creativity and competition, as the students participated in spoken-word performances, singing, dancing and inter-school debates, all centred around the theme of the girl child as a beacon of hope and transformation. These activities not only showcased the talents of the girls but also deepened their understanding of self-expression and confidence in public engagement.

In keeping with the day’s message of care and empowerment, essential items such as sanitary pads, writing materials, and toiletries were distributed to the participants. In addition, cash prizes were awarded to outstanding students who excelled in the various competitions and skill exhibitions, reinforcing the value of excellence and hard work.

Other dignitaries at the event included the Secretary to Igbo-Eze South Local Government, Hon. Zacchaeus Ukwueze; the Education Secretary of Igbo-Eze South, Hon. Jude Judemary Ugwu; the Chief of Staff to the Chairman of Igbo-Eze South, Comrade Anthony Odo and others.

The event also highlighted strong institutional collaboration, with Nigerian Breweries, NAPTIP, JRB Group, Doxer Moms and Babies and the Ugo-Ferdinand Foundation partnering to make the day a remarkable success.

The International Day of the Girl Child celebration in Igbo-Eze South thus became not only a call to action but also a reaffirmation of faith in the capacity of young girls to lead, inspire and transform society; one step, one dream and one vision at a time.

…Second phase of Renewed Hope Initiative to take off at Ibagwa Aka

The National Directorate of Employment (NDE) has commended the Executive Chairman of Igbo-Eze South Local Government Area and Deputy Chairman of ALGON, Enugu State, Hon. Barr. Ugo Ferdinand Ukwueze, for his unalloyed commitment to youth empowerment, skills development and poverty alleviation.

The commendation came in a formal letter from the Director-General of the NDE, His Excellency Silas A. Agara, which was presented to Hon. Ukwueze by the State Coordinator of the Directorate, Mr. Oluka Godwin, during a courtesy visit to the council.

Mr. Godwin, who stood in for the DG, said the recognition was in acknowledgment of the Chairman’s consistent partnership with the Directorate in tackling unemployment at the grassroots. According to him, Hon. Ukwueze’s leadership has provided a platform for meaningful engagement of youths, which aligns with the Federal Government’s vision for sustainable national development.

“The Directorate has observed with admiration the Chairman’s passion for youth development and his commitment to poverty alleviation strategies. This is the kind of leadership we need at the local level to drive employment generation and reduce youth restiveness,” the State Coordinator said.

As part of the recognition, the NDE has approved Igbo-Eze South LGA to serve as the coordinating hub for all skill acquisition and vocational training programmes across the Enugu North Senatorial Zone. This designation positions the area as a zonal centre for enterprise development, job creation and youth empowerment initiatives.

In a related development, the Directorate announced that the second phase of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Initiative Programme will be anchored at the Skill Acquisition Centre located in Ibagwa Aka, Igbo-Eze South. The programme, which focuses on entrepreneurship, vocational training and support for small-scale businesses, is expected to benefit hundreds of youths and women across the zone.

Responding after receiving the commendation letter, Hon. Ukwueze expressed appreciation to the NDE for recognizing his administration’s efforts. He assured the Directorate of the council’s readiness to provide an enabling environment and necessary support for the effective implementation of the training programmes.

“Our priority remains creating opportunities for our youths, empowering them with the right skills and reducing the burden of unemployment in our communities. This recognition only strengthens our resolve to continue partnering with national and state agencies for the benefit of our people,” Hon. Ukwueze stated.

Stakeholders and community leaders in attendance hailed the development, describing it as a landmark achievement that would not only empower youths of Igbo-Eze South but also attract opportunities to the wider Enugu North Senatorial Zone.
With Igbo-Eze South now designated as a skill acquisition hub, expectations are high that the council area will witness a new wave of economic activities, innovative enterprises, and reduced unemployment, further driving the Federal Government’s goal of inclusive and sustainable development.
