A social media post by Louis Kene Nnaji has sparked fresh debate over governance and accountability in Enugu State, with the author leveling a series of allegations against the administration of Governor Peter Mbah.
In the strongly worded post, Nnaji accused the government of making “empty promises” while failing to provide clear and verifiable updates on several high-profile projects across the state. He called on the administration to be “transparent enough” in addressing concerns raised by residents.
Among the issues highlighted is the controversial “Smart School” initiative, which the author claimed has suffered structural failures, alleging that some buildings under construction have collapsed. He urged the government to investigate contractors involved and disclose the financial details behind the project.
The post also questioned the state’s water supply reforms, noting that despite earlier assurances by the governor that technical challenges had been identified and funding secured, many parts of Enugu metropolis still reportedly lack consistent access to potable water nearly three years later.
On the aviation project, Nnaji called for clarity on the funding structure of the Enugu Air initiative, particularly the reported partnership with Fidelity Bank. He queried the loan terms and suggested that alternative financing options, such as public investment through bonds, could have been considered.
Further concerns were raised over the concession of the Nike Lake facility to Landmark Group, with the author alleging a lack of transparency in the leasing process and questioning the absence of visible redevelopment progress.
The post also touched on the state of primary healthcare centres, referencing a recent media interview in which a government official reportedly struggled to provide precise cost details for the construction of Type-2 health facilities. Additionally, allegations were made regarding the treatment of a citizen who had publicly criticized conditions at a local health centre.
On fiscal matters, Nnaji criticized what he described as increasing internal revenue generation alongside continued borrowing, raising concerns about the state’s debt profile and the impact of multiple taxation on residents.
While the claims have generated significant reactions online, the Enugu State Government has not yet issued an official response to the allegations as of the time of filing this report.
Observers note that the development underscores growing public demand for transparency and accountability as political activities ahead of the next election cycle begin to gather momentum in the state.
