GOVERNOR PETER MBAH INAUGURATES ULTRAMODERN BUS TERMINALS, ROLLS OUT DOZENS OF MASS TRANSIT CNG BUSES ACROSS ENUGU.

Determined to ensure that the transport sector gets a boost, Governor Peter
Mbah, has inaugurated five ultramodern transport terminals in various parts of
the state in line with his integrated blueprint for a modern and multimodal
transport ecosystem.
In the same vein, Mbah launched the Enugu State Modern Transport System
that would enable residents commute with ease, as well as a digital platform and
over eighty modern bus shelters constructed across the state.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, Mbah said the projects, were a key part
of the administration’s integrated five-terminal Transport Infrastructure Projects,
Phase 1, in line with his vision to grow the state’s economy.
He also described the terminals as catalysts for economic development and
engines of economic revival.
According to the governor, the Enugu Transport Management System would
eliminate corruption that had been the bane of government enterprises to ensure
sustainability, counting on an e-ticketing system that eliminates leakages,
guarantees transparency, and ensures every payment is accounted for.
Governor Mbah further thanked President Bola Tinubu for his commitment to
the state’s development.
In a goodwill message, the Programme Director/CEO of the Presidential Initiative
on CNG, Engr. Michael Oluwagbemi, who was represented by Tari Mayor-
