The Governor further linked the assignments to the administration’s ambition of growing Enugu State’s economy from $4.4 billion to $30 billion, noting that the target requires an efficient civil service, quality education and a workforce equipped for the demands of a 21st-century economy.
The newly inaugurated bodies include the Governing Councils of ESUT, IMT, Enugu State Polytechnic, Iwollo, ESCET, as well as the TVET Board and State Civil Service Commission.
