“We cannot also forget the historic and unprecedented rally that traders in the state, under your leadership and direction, held a few months ago, to show their appreciation for the scheme. The story of that rally is still being told across the country and it demonstrated the power and influence that market men and women can command in every land”, the governor said.

About Enugu State

The name of the state derives from its capital city, Enugu. The word "Enugu" (from Enu Ugwu) means "the top of the hill". The first European settlers arrived in the area in 1909, led by a British mining engineer named Albert Kitson. In his quest for silver, he discovered coal in the Udi Ridge. The Colonial Governor of Nigeria Frederick Lugard took a keen interest in the discovery, and by 1914 the first shipment of coal was made to Britain.
