Gov. Mba Begins Construction Of 5-Star Hotel.

Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah says he has laid the foundation for the construction of a five-star International Conference Centre Hotel in Enugu, the state capital.

During the groundbreaking ceremony, the Governor also inspected the long-abandoned 5,000-capacity Enugu International Conference Centre which his administration is currently completing and upgrading to modern standards.

Speaking during the event, the Governor said, the five-star facility, which he described as an investment enabler, was in line with his administration’s vision to make Enugu the preferred destination for investment, business, tourism, and leisure, and to grow the state’s economy from $4.4 billion dollars to $30 billion dollars in four to eight years.

Mbah said, his dream was to make Enugu the conferencing headquarters of Africa, and also make Enugu state the premier destination for business, investment, tourism, living, and leisure.

While, emphasizing timely delivery, Mbah said the Government had made all necessary arrangements to meet its commitment to the contractors, who must work day and night, as there would be no room for cost variation or time overrun.
