Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State on Monday renamed the popular Obinagu Road in Abakpa Nike, Enugu East Council Area, after highlife music legend, Mike Ejeagha.
According to reports, the rechristening took place during the inauguration of four newly constructed and reconstructed roads in Abakpa Nike, Enugu.
Mbah, who visited Ejeagha at his residence during the ceremony, announced that the State Government would henceforth take full responsibility for his upkeep, describing Ejeagha as a living legend.
In a speech at the inauguration, governor Mbah also said that he made a social contract with Enugu people which he was fulfilling.
While announcing that the State Government awarded 71 urban roads and 10 rural roads in 2023, shortly after the inception of his administration, the governor made a firm pledge that all the roads in the urban areas in Enugu must be paved.
