Rita Mbah: Breath of Fresh Air in Enugu Tourism

The popular saying, “Courage is the most important of all virtues, without it you can’t practice any virtue. You definitely cannot do anything consistently without courage” aptly explains the reason the enterprising and very formidable amazon, Hon. Rita Mbah, the Executive Chairman, Enugu State Tourism Board, stands tall at all times.

Since the upwardly mobile Mbah took over the reign of leadership at the state tourism board last year, she has been breaking grounds with innovations and re-invention, relentless in her unwavering effort to take the state tourism to an enviable height.

The amazon symbolises purposeful, passionate and peerless leadership. Her one-year record in the saddle as Executive Chairman of the Tourism Board has been nothing short of phenomenal.

The woman, who was earlier a commissioner for tourism in the administration of the former governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, has proved many times that she is indeed a rare combination of brain, brawn and beauty. She is continually and successfully pulling all these together, albeit silently, to launch Enugu State on the global map with its tourism potential. 

As a woman grounded in the tourism sector with years of experience, many were eager to see what the reputed change-maker would add to the sector. It is undoubtedly a huge responsibility. On the evidence of her one-year record, it is now abundantly clear that she has provided an adequate response to all the curious minds.

For instance, during last year’s Yuletide season, she dragged traffic to the state’s first-ever “Christmas in the Park.” The spectacular event, as gathered, allowed lots of fun-seekers to have a relaxing time at the park. This, as revealed, also generated revenue for the government.

While spearheading groundbreaking innovations, reinventing the sector and pushing it to unparalleled heights, Mbah remains diligent, upright, and unwaveringly committed to her mission, earning her widespread respect.

She continually showcases her brilliance and has become a symbol of accomplishment. Standing head and shoulders above her contemporaries, this formidable and dynamic woman is brimming with ingenuity and creativity.

She is indeed a breath of fresh air in the state’s tourism.
