Mbah took to his official Twitter handle to disclose the details of the meeting, stating, “Yesterday, I had a crucial meeting at the Enugu State Government House with the Chief of Defence Staff, General Lucky Irabor, and other military personnel, traditional rulers, CSOs, and stakeholders. In our plan to grow our economy and increase our GDP from $4.4 billion to $30 billion, security of lives and properties is paramount.”
