Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah is positioning Enugu as the travel hub for Nigeria’s Southeast and South-South regions by encouraging travelers to utilize the new UK Visa Application Center in Enugu.
Governor Mbah played a key role in re-establishing the UK Visa Application Center in Enugu, which was the capital of the defunct Eastern Region of Nigeria, encompassing most parts of the South-East and South-South. Enugu is still considered the political capital city of both regions.
During a visit to the center, Governor Mbah declared that travelers from these regions no longer need to “travel long distances to Lagos or Abuja for their UK visa applications.”
“I encourage everyone in these regions to take full advantage of this facility, and I also invite Nigerians from other parts of the country to do the same,” he stated.
Governor Mbah also appealed to “foreign missions, such as the US and Chinese governments,” to follow the UK’s example by establishing their consular offices in Enugu.
He emphasized that the state will continue to “grow as a hub of opportunities and service delivery,” and his government is “committed to making life easier and more convenient” for residents and travelers through the state.
Governor Mbah has been praised for his transformative developmental strides since assuming office in May 2023. He is accelerating the operationalization of the ultra-modern Akanu-Ibiam International Airport, the Enugu New City project, building over 200 smart schools, and other bold socio-economic projects.
