STRENGTHENING LEADERSHIP, DEEPENING SERVICE DELIVERY
On Monday, 19 October 2026, I inaugurated Barr. Uche Mbaeke as Secretary to Enugu East Local Government, reaffirming our commitment to strengthening the administrative and operational structures of the Council as we consolidate the gains of our first tenure and advance our development agenda.
I also inaugurated Hon. Paul Edeh as Chief Security Officer (CSO) of the Council. Their continued service builds on the experience and institutional knowledge gained during our first tenure, providing a foundation for sustained progress in the administration of the Council.
As I emphasised during the ceremony, governance is a collective responsibility. Just as the roots, branches and leaves of a tree perform different but complementary functions to enable it to bear fruit, every member of our team has a distinct role to play in delivering on our commitments to the people. No contribution is insignificant when we work together towards a common goal.
I therefore urge all Council staff and political appointees to remain diligent, professional and committed to their respective duties. Through teamwork, mutual support and a shared sense of purpose, we will continue to strengthen our institutions, improve service delivery and build on the progress already recorded.
Congratulations once again to Barr. Uche Mbaeke and Hon. Paul Edeh on their respective appointments. I look forward to their continued dedication, integrity and commitment to the effective administration of Enugu East LGA.
Dr. Pst. Beloved-Dan Obi Anike, FNSE, FCIMC, FCIPMN
Executive Chairman, Enugu East LGA
