Enugu State Sports Development Fund Law: Geared towards revitalizing the sports sector to become a major driver of economic growth through talent development and infrastructure enhancement.

Enugu State Environmental and Climate Protection Law: Intended to strengthen environmental conservation efforts and mitigate the impacts of climate change in the state.

The signing ceremony was attended by dignitaries including the Speaker of the Enugu State House of Assembly, Uchenna Ugwu, and other senior government officials. Governor Mbah emphasized that these laws would bring an end to issues like land-grabbing and unregulated grazing, aligning with the state’s commitment to improving the ease of doing business and ensuring sustainable development.
