The Executive Governor of Abia State, His Excellency, Dr. Alex C. Otti, OFR, has congratulated his brother and colleague, His Excellency, Dr. Peter Mbah, Executive 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.

The honour was conferred on Governor Mbah in recognition of his contributions to governance and public service.

Governor Otti described the honour as a well-deserved recognition of Governor 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,” Governor Otti stated.

The University specifically hailed Governor 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.

Governor Otti noted that the award reflects the confidence reposed in Governor 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,” Governor Otti said.

Governor Otti prayed that the honour will spur Governor 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.
