Peter Mbah statement reads: "Today, I swore in 13 newly appointed Permanent Secretaries at the Government House, and made it clear to them that there is no honeymoon period
"They emerged through a rigorous, transparent, and merit-based process, and their appointments are well deserved. But with elevation comes responsibility. As I told them, to whom much is given, much is expected. The reward for hard work is more work
"Permanent Secretaries are the engine room of government and the custodians of institutional memory. Our administration is executing far-reaching, sector-wide reforms that are not makeshift, but designed to be institutionalised and to outlive us. Their duty is to ensure that processes are properly documented, sustained, and delivered with discipline
"With our 2026 budget crossing the trillion-naira threshold for the first time, and over ₦1.3 trillion committed to capital projects, the scale of governance has expanded. This demands a more skilled workforce, ICT competence, and leaders who are not beginners in a fully integrated e-governance system
"From Smart Green Schools, Type-2 Primary Healthcare Centres, CNG buses and modern transport terminals, 260 farm estates, to tourism expansion and Enugu Air, we are raising standards across all sectors
"With 6 of the 13 newly appointed Permanent Secretaries being women, we have exceeded the 35% Affirmative Action benchmark, underscoring our firm commitment to inclusion, equity, and fairness in public service
"The world is watching us. We must hold ourselves to the highest standards of transparency, accountability, accessibility, and collaboration, as clearly outlined in our citizens’ charter
