Enugu State governor, Peter Mbah has commissioned an asphalt production plant built by his istration In furtherance of his campaign promise to construct 10,000 roads in eight years.

Inaugurating the plant Thursday, Mbah said the state would also produce the inputs for asphalt production, noting these moves would drastically reduce the cost of road construction for the state.

“The asphalt production plant is designed to produce 160 tons of asphalt per hour,” he said. “For context, it will produce 2.5 tons every minute and 160 tons per hour,”.

Speaking further, he said “What it effectively means is that if we decide to work 20 hours in a day, we can produce 3,200 tons every day. This is not seen anywhere in the South East,”.

He noted that his istration will also inaugurate a plant where the stones needed to feed this plant will be mined and crushed.

“It is our hope that we are going to start the exploration of bitumen in the state because we are also blessed with bitumen. So, in a few years time, we are going to be able to produce the bitumen that will feed this plant. It means that we will get the bitumen here, get the stones, and sand so that everything is made in Enugu,” the governor said.

See as it looks like Lego structure that can easily fall apart

This is one Governor that knows he didn't actually win his election squarely but has used every effort to ensure Alex Otti and Chukwuma Soludo does not outshine him in of performance and good leadership in the South East 👏

Go on gov Mba. Hopefully your successor maintains it.
Rochas Okorocha started something similar behind Building Materials Market in Orlu. Everything is now in ruins.

God bless you Mr Governor so commendable opening the doors of your state for more development this is what we want not someone who only thing he can point to is to is that he built the damn Hero brewery to turn everybody into drunkard.

And another is somewhere in SS still coasting around for who to fight then blame one Minister in far away Abuja.

Mr governor God bless you. Gradually the land will be liberated from those who do not want anybody in SE and locked everything up. Coal is there they locked it but thank God this governor break the bitumen lock.

Some people still see brewery as better achievement than this one.

The more Helinues, seunmsg yarimo hates, the more the Igbo land continues to progress .

God bless all the south east Home Lands forever, Amen.
