 Capture the derivable from the 365 Days in office of Dr Peter Ndubuisi Mbah as Mike Ebuka engages discussion on the  Enugu Modern Transport Interchange: A Great Win It is said that a city’s transportation network is its cardiovascular system, a multifaceted structure that enables the continuous flow of people and goods through its arteries. Municipal authorities, city councils, urban planners, and transport-infrastructure owners and operators around the world are well aware that its quality and efficiency are crucial for the economy and for the wellbeing of citizens and visitors. Unfortunately for decades now, the Holy Ghost axis of Enugu metropolis has been a mess, a place where all manner of both legitimate and illegitimate activities thrive. It is inappropriate and unfit that a state like Enugu, which prides itself as the capital of the old Eastern Region and the present South East will have such an unkept place at the heartbeat of the city and worse still , as its transpo...

It was a remarkable departure from the established incremental governance model to one described as a paradigm shift that has no regard for norm and convention.

No longer an evolution that followed a traditional trend where the system is the guiding principle rather than human ingenuity that could interrupt and rupture the process with a new set of new ideas and solutions. The Enugu’s eccentric example is worth interrogation under the leadership of Dr. Peter Mbah, the state’s governor. From “The Innovator’s Dilemma” to “The Innovator’s Solution”, Clayton Christensen, a Harvard professor and business consultant, had posited that only businesses that could relentlessly apply new set of ideas that breaks down the complexity ...

  Disruptive Innovation: Enugu's Journey to Greatness and Peter's Magic Wand Effective leadership is shown when leaders dare to tackle difficult situations to create positivity in people's lives. A great leader distinguishes themselves by leading people to where they ought to be, not just where they want to be. This is the approach that His Excellency Dr. Peter Mbah has taken in governance. His unconventional approach to governance and administration is a deviation from the norm in the Nigerian political system. Having achieved fantastic results in the private sector, he inspired confidence in people that he could deliver on his promises. His Excellency's promise to grow the economic base of the state and increase the GDP of the state from 4.8 billion dollars to 30 billion dollars raised eyebrows. However, he has developed templates to draw resources from idle governmental assets and untapped resources that demonstrate his commitment to delivering on his promise. His ex...
