Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, Honors Mike Ejeagha By Naming Road After Music Legend

The Governor of Enugu State, Mr Peter Mbah, Monday, named a newly commissioned road at Abakpa Nike in Enugu metropolis after countryside music guru, Mike Ejeagha.

“The road is christened the Mike Ejeagha road. It is located where the music legend lives for over six decades.

Mbah used the occasion to visit Ejeagha at his residence, where he announced that the government would henceforth take full responsibility for his upkeep, describing him as a living legend.

He said, “We are commissioning four roads here today and all those roads are quite significant. But one of those roads stands out. It is the road that leads to the home of one of our great legends and icons.

“We have always told people that Enugu State is the home of legends. It is not just sporting legends.

“We also have the music icons. And we have one man, Mike Ejeagha, who, through his folk songs, have largely brought memories of years gone by to our doorsteps.
