New Enugu Smart City initiative launched in Nigeria

Nigeria has announced the New Enugu Smart City project, positioned as a benchmark for disciplined planning and sustainable urban development. The initiative, driven by Governor Peter Mbah and the leadership of Mrs Nkeiru Arum, seeks to balance growth, technology, investment, environmental responsibility and social inclusion. It is presented as a model that can avoid the congestion and infrastructure pressures that have affected Abuja, Nigeria’s earlier planned capital. Success will depend on long‑term execution, institutional consistency and the ability of the city to endure beyond any single administration.
