Bisi Fayemi to Make a Special Reading, As Ekiti Youths Walk For Book
In order to promote reading culture among the Nigerian populace, a multi-concept firm, OpenWay Global Concepts in conjunction with a nongovernmental organisation, the Convergence is set to stage a reading awareness walk and colloquium on Tuesday, 23rd of April in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital. The event which will feature a special public reading by the wife of Ekiti State Governor, Erelu Bisi Fayemi, will also see a good number of youths drawn from various organisations in the state having a two kilometre walk to create reading awareness.
According to the coordinator of the project, which has the technical support of the UnitedNations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the Chief Executive Officer of OpenWay Global Concepts, Adesina Adetola, the event is designed among others to promote the objective of the world book and copyright day, celebrated every April 23rd.
He said;” over the years, the dwindling reading culture have been identified as one of the ugly trends in this current age which has evidently become a great challenge to every developmental process at all levels, therefore the need to encourage reading at all strata and in all forms. For every society to attain the net level of development, every leader must be a reader. It is on this ground that UNESCO sets aside every April 23rd to encourage literary works and promote its relevance in national development.”
“It is our belief that the project would certainly contribute to the achievement of the sustainable development goal 4; -to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all’’.
In the same vein, Tosin Adara, Leader of The Convergence also said that “the importance of reading can never be over emphasized, it is a fact that you can never grow more than your mental capacity and what you read is whom you are. So we are organising this event to rekindle the dieing reading culture”

Gov. Peter Mbah @54: From Campaign Vision to Transformational Leadership in Enugu State
Gov. Peter Mbah @54: From Campaign Vision to Transformational Leadership in Enugu State
By George Omagbemi Sylvester
“From Campaign Promises to Measurable Impact: How Gov. Peter Mbah is Transforming Enugu State Ahead of His 54th Birthday”
Governor Peter Mbah is being celebrated on March 16, 2026, ahead of his 54th birthday tomorrow, March 17, 2026, for his visionary leadership, developmental initiatives, and enduring impact on Enugu State.
Mbah began his journey to the governorship under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) during the 2022 primaries, running on a platform of economic revitalisation, security enhancement, education reform, healthcare expansion, and youth empowerment. His campaign emphasized making Enugu State a business-friendly, investment-ready, and socially inclusive environment, promising policies to raise the state’s economy significantly while improving living standards for citizens.
Elected governor on March 18, 2023, and sworn in on May 29, 2023, Mbah immediately began translating campaign promises into action. Within months, his administration launched strategic initiatives across multiple sectors, reflecting a commitment to governance that is both pragmatic and people-focused.
Security and Public Safety
One of Mbah’s first priorities was enhancing security. He established AI-powered command centers, modern surveillance systems, and rapid response squads, reducing crime rates and making Enugu a model for safety in the region. Citizens and investors alike have praised these measures for creating a secure environment that encourages commerce and tourism.
Education and Healthcare
Mbah has made education and healthcare cornerstones of his administration. The state now boasts 260 Smart Green Schools equipped with ICT labs and digital learning tools. In healthcare, he constructed 260 Primary Healthcare Centres, ensuring that communities across the state have access to essential medical services. His policies reflect a vision of equitable development and human capital empowerment.
Infrastructure and Urban Renewal
Under his leadership, nearly 1,000 km of roads have been completed or rehabilitated, while urban centers have undergone significant renewal. Water schemes long neglected were revitalized to provide reliable supply, and waste management initiatives have improved public sanitation across the state. Mbah’s administration also prioritizes long-term city planning, with projects like the International Conference Centre and future smart city developments underway.
Economic Reform and Revenue Generation
Digitization has been central to Mbah’s economic reforms. Land and tax systems were modernized, broadening the revenue base and improving transparency, all without imposing new taxes. These measures have attracted investors and strengthened the state’s economy, demonstrating that governance can be efficient, accountable, and growth-oriented.
Transport and Aviation
Mbah launched Enugu Air and upgraded urban transport infrastructure, including modern bus terminals and a fleet of CNG-powered buses, easing mobility for residents and creating new employment opportunities.
Leadership Style and Legacy
Described by analysts as a “talk and do” leader, Mbah combines strategic planning with direct engagement at the grassroots level. His cabinet has been restructured to align with developmental goals, including the creation of a Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources to harness local potential. These steps demonstrate a focus on long-term, sustainable governance.
As he celebrates his 54th birthday on March 17, 2026, stakeholders and citizens honor a leader whose tenure has consistently prioritized progress, inclusivity, and citizen welfare. Supporters have even suggested endorsing him as a sole candidate in the 2027 elections, reflecting confidence in his leadership and track record.
Governor Mbah’s journey from campaign promises to tangible achievements illustrates a governance model grounded in vision, action, and accountability; an enduring legacy for Enugu State and a benchmark for Nigerian leadership.
