Peter Mbah:
In an era where leadership is increasingly measured by foresight and impact, Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State is charting a course that looks far beyond his tenure. With an ambitious education reform anchored in innovation and sustainability, Mbah is reshaping the learning landscape through his flagship Smart Green Schools initiative—designed to expose children as young as three to modern skills like artificial intelligence, robotics, and experiential learning. His goal is clear: to equip a new generation of Enugu children with the tools to compete in a fast-changing global economy. But beyond bricks and curriculum, Mbah is laying the foundations for long-term institutional strength. Determined to build a system that thrives beyond any individual, the Governor is investing heavily in human capital development—particularly among civil servants—while embedding transparency and digital governance across all MDAs. His administration’s emphasis on training, automation, and team-driven execution is designed to ensure that policies and reforms are not only impactful today but sustainable tomorrow. In this interview, he speaks about how his dual strategy—developing globally competitive youth and building resilient institutions—is shaping a legacy focused not on political cycles, but generational transformation.
