Commends Gov. Mbah for Blazing the Trail in Nigeria Solar-for- Healthcare Project, NISHP.
The European Union, EU, has commended Enugu State under the leadership of Governor Peter Mbah for becoming the first state to key into the Nigeria Solar-for-Health  Project, NISHP, an initiative of the EU to provide 24-hour access to clean, efficient, and reliable energy to public healthcare facilities across Nigeria.

The commendation was given by the Head, Green and Digital Economy Section, EU Delegation to Nigeria and ECOWAS, Miss Inga Stefanowicz, during a working visit by the delegation and its technical partners to the governor at the Government House, Enugu, on the sidelines of the official launch of the NISHP in the state capital.

Stefanowicz said the EU was also interested in harnessing all the renewable energy potentials in the state, and would, therefore, be visiting some of the sites with such potentials.

“We are here to have a comprehensive look at the opportunities in Enugu State and the potentials for our further cooperation,” she stated.

In his response, Governor Mbah appreciated the EU for partnering with Enugu State, noting that the EU objectives also aligned with that of his administration, having embarked on the construction of 260 Type 2 Primary Healthcare Centres across the state, his administration did not waste time to latch on to the NISHP once the opportunity presented itself.

“Some of the things you said about some of your strategic objectives also aligned with our broad strategic objectives, which speak to peace, security, inclusive economic development, and, of course, prosperity and sustainability.

“What we are doing with the EU and indeed the other development partners are largely at the core of our governance philosophy - partnership and collaboration - and being also very transparent and accountabl.

“Therefore, this idea of having renewable sources is something we find very compelling to partner with, and when the proposal came, we did not spare any time or effort. we immediately latched on to it,” Mbah stated.

The governor also welcomed the interest of the Germans in helping to develop Enugu State’s renewable energy potentials, patterning with the state.
