The Ukehe Development Forum (UDF) has passed a vote of confidence on Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State and the Chairman of Igbo-Etiti Local Government Area, Dr. Eric Odo.
The forum noted that the vote of confidence on Gov. Mbah and the council chairman is for their unwavering commitment, dedication and passion for development projects and programmes that uplift the people.
This is contained in a communique signed by the UDF patron, Dr. Chudi Ezirigwe and the UDF Convener, Mr. Chinedu Akwolu, on Sunday, at the end of the forum’s interactive session on the state of Enugu State and Igbo-Etiti Council Area.
The forum expressed its satisfaction and that of the entire Ukehe stakeholders, comprising of political leaders, business executives, civil servants and community elites, with Gov. Mbah and Odo, for their sterling and people-focused performance since assumption of office.
The group promised to mobilise needed resources to support developmental initiatives of the governor and local government boss as well as nurturing potential leaders in the community.

The forum commended the attention given to the Agu-Ukehe Road as the road is pivotal for economic and tourism growth and called for the creation of a business hub in Agu-Ukehe in order to attract investment.
The group, however, appealed for the speedy reconstruction of the old Enugu–Opi–Nsukka Road as well as resolution of the water scarcity being experienced in some areas.
“The forum reinforces commitment to embrace collective responsibility for community progress.
“We advocate for intensified efforts to combat drug abuse among youths through NDLEA intervention and community-driven awareness campaign.
“We recommend instituting periodic recognition programmes for outstanding educators, health workers and students as motivational incentives,” the communique added.
