ENUGU — Governor of Enugu State, His Excellency, Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, has unveiled a compendium documenting more than 10,000 development milestones recorded by his administration across critical sectors of the state economy, declaring that Enugu remains firmly on course for greater prosperity and transformation.
The compendium, presented at the International Conference Centre, Enugu, highlights major interventions in infrastructure, education, healthcare, transportation, urban development, economic reforms and the revival of strategic state assets.
Among the major achievements documented are more than 1,521 kilometres of constructed and reconstructed roads, over 7,000 classrooms and 260 Type-2 Primary Healthcare Centres. The scorecard also highlights projects including Enugu Air, the New Enugu Smart City and the rehabilitation of previously moribund government assets.
The administration said the compendium reflects its emphasis on measurable outcomes, accountability and traceability in the deployment of public resources, rather than policy declarations without corresponding delivery.
The development record comes against the backdrop of Governor Mbah’s broader economic transformation agenda, which places infrastructure, human capital development, healthcare, education, investment and innovation at the centre of efforts to reposition Enugu as a competitive destination for business and investment.
The unveiling has also intensified public discussion around the pace, scale and impact of the administration’s projects, with stakeholders assessing how the various interventions are translating into improved services and economic opportunities for residents.
The state government has described the development programme as part of a wider effort to build an economically vibrant, socially inclusive and sustainably developed Enugu.

2. Tinubu’s Reforms Turning Nigerian Companies into Global Brands — Shettima
Vice President Says Indigenous Firms Are Scaling Operations Through Innovation and Economic Reforms
Enugu Media Village (EMV), the Most Updated Online News Platform | September 12, 2026.
ABUJA — Vice President Kashim Shettima has said the economic reforms of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration are helping indigenous Nigerian companies expand their operations and compete more effectively on the global stage.
Shettima made the remarks in Abuja while receiving a delegation from Nigerian fintech company Flutterwave, led by its Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder, Olugbenga Agboola.
The Vice President said companies such as Flutterwave, Moniepoint and Andela were examples of Nigerian businesses leveraging technology, innovation and the opportunities emerging from ongoing economic reforms to scale their operations internationally.
According to him, the transformation of indigenous enterprises into internationally competitive brands demonstrates the potential of Nigeria’s private sector when supported by an enabling economic environment.
The Federal Government has continued to promote reforms aimed at strengthening investment, enterprise development, productivity, innovation and job creation as part of its broader economic transformation agenda.
The administration has also maintained that building stronger indigenous businesses is critical to reducing dependence on raw commodities and developing a more diversified economy driven by production, technology and value addition.
However, the sustainability of these gains will depend on ensuring that the benefits of economic reforms extend beyond major corporations to small and medium-sized enterprises, manufacturers, young entrepreneurs and other participants in the wider economy.
For Nigeria’s rapidly expanding technology and fintech ecosystem, the growing international presence of indigenous companies presents an opportunity to deepen investment, create jobs and strengthen the country’s position within the global digital economy.

3. Oil Surges Above $100 as Saudi Arabia Shuts Key Pipeline After Drone Attack
Middle East Tensions Deepen Global Energy Supply Concerns as Saudi Oil Route Is Disrupted
Enugu Media Village (EMV), the Most Updated Online News Platform | September 12, 2026.
RIYADH — Global energy markets are facing renewed supply concerns after Saudi Arabia shut its strategic East-West oil pipeline following a drone attack, adding to growing uncertainty over crude supplies amid escalating tensions in the Middle East.
The approximately 1,200-kilometre pipeline, which links Saudi oil facilities near the Persian Gulf with the Red Sea port of Yanbu, provides an alternative route that allows Saudi Arabia to bypass the Strait of Hormuz.
The pipeline had been carrying an estimated 4–5 million barrels of oil per day, equivalent to roughly 5 per cent of global oil supply, making the disruption potentially significant for international energy markets.
Saudi Arabia said the pipeline was attacked by drones, causing injuries and damage, while investigations were launched to establish responsibility. Iraq has also taken steps to investigate reports that the attacks originated from its territory.
The latest disruption comes amid wider instability around key Middle Eastern energy and shipping routes, including the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea. The developments have contributed to a fresh surge in crude prices, with oil trading above $100 per barrel.
For Nigeria, renewed increases in international oil prices could have significant implications because crude remains an important source of government revenue and foreign exchange.
Higher prices could strengthen public revenues and foreign-exchange inflows, but prolonged energy and shipping disruptions could simultaneously increase transportation, production and import costs.
The latest crisis therefore underscores the importance of energy security, domestic refining capacity, economic diversification and stronger resilience against external shocks.

NEW DELHI — The 18th BRICS Summit has opened in New Delhi, bringing together leaders and senior representatives of major emerging economies at a time of heightened geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainty and growing calls for reform of the international system.
The summit is being held on September 12 and 13 in India, with discussions centred on global governance, economic cooperation, trade, investment, energy, financial resilience and the role of emerging economies in shaping the international order.
The BRICS grouping has expanded significantly from its original five members. Its current full membership includes 11 countries, while a wider group of partner countries is also participating in the summit’s engagements.
The gathering comes against the backdrop of continuing international tensions, including conflicts and security crises in the Middle East and Ukraine, as well as renewed debates over the structure of global economic and financial institutions.
Leaders are also expected to pursue stronger cooperation among emerging economies and discuss mechanisms aimed at increasing economic resilience and reducing vulnerabilities within the international financial system.
Nigeria is participating in the summit’s high-level engagements, with Vice President Kashim Shettima representing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
For Nigeria, engagement with BRICS and other emerging economies provides opportunities to deepen trade and investment partnerships, attract capital, expand diplomatic cooperation and strengthen relations with countries playing increasingly influential roles in the global economy.
The summit is taking place at a time when developing countries are seeking greater representation in international decision-making and stronger influence over institutions that shape global economic policies.
As the BRICS platform continues to expand, its growing membership and partnerships could further strengthen the collective voice of emerging economies on trade, development, finance, energy and global governance.

5. 25 Years After 9/11, America Remembers the Victims of the 2001 Attacks
United States Marks Historic Anniversary with Memorials, Tributes and Renewed Calls for Unity
Enugu Media Village (EMV), the Most Updated Online News Platform | September 12, 2026.
WASHINGTON — The United States has marked the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, with families, survivors, political leaders and citizens gathering across the country to remember the 2,977 people killed in the attacks.
Memorial ceremonies were held at Ground Zero in New York, the Pentagon and the Flight 93 National Memorial in Pennsylvania — the three principal sites associated with the attacks.
At the National September 11 Memorial in New York, victims’ names were read aloud during a solemn ceremony attended by families and public officials. The commemoration also featured an additional moment of silence honouring people who subsequently died from illnesses or injuries linked to the attacks.
The anniversary prompted renewed reflection on the enormous human cost of the attacks and the far-reaching consequences that followed, including major changes in U.S. national security policy, international relations and counterterrorism efforts.
Memorial events across the country emphasised remembrance, resilience and national unity, while families continued to honour the individual lives and stories behind the historic tragedy.
The legacy of September 11 has extended far beyond the immediate loss of life. The attacks reshaped global security policies, influenced international military interventions and generated decades of debate over terrorism, civil liberties, national security and humanitarian consequences.
The anniversary also drew attention to the continuing health impact on survivors, first responders and others exposed to toxic substances at the disaster sites, many of whom have suffered serious illnesses in the years since the attacks.
Twenty-five years later, September 11 remains one of the defining events of the modern era — a tragedy whose effects continue to influence the United States and the wider world.
