Civil servants in Enugu State have expressed widespread excitement following the approval of promotion and conversion for 2,114 public workers by Governor Peter Mbah.
The affected workers participated in the November December 2025 promotion and conversion exercises conducted across the state civil service. The approval, which takes immediate effect, also covers the financial implications of the new ranks, allowing beneficiaries to enjoy their upgraded status without delay.
Chairman of the Enugu State Civil Service Commission, Mr Robison Odo, described the development on Tuesday in Enugu as timely and morale boosting, likening it to an Easter gift for workers. The exercise cut across officers on Grade Levels 01 to 17 who successfully passed the promotion interviews.
“The Executive Governor recently approved the release of the promotion and conversion of 2,114 officers who participated in the 2025 exercise. The approval also takes immediate effect with the financial benefits attached,” Odo said. He commended the administration for its sustained commitment to workers welfare, noting prompt payment of salaries, pensions and gratuities as a hallmark of the government.
Odo also highlighted the state’s N80,000 minimum wage as exceeding the national benchmark, describing it as a clear demonstration of the governor’s worker friendly policies. He added, “Workers are genuinely excited. This is a strong motivation for improved productivity and commitment to service. We deeply appreciate the governor for prioritising our welfare despite ongoing infrastructural development across the state.”
The Head of Service, Dr Godwin Anigbo, said the governor’s policies had created an enabling environment for workers to embrace reforms and deliver optimally. He noted that investments in capacity building, including training in digital competencies, were facilitating the transition from analogue to technology driven operations.
Anigbo also lauded the approval for the elishment of a public service training institute, describing it as a critical step towards strengthening institutional capacity and improving service delivery. Despite heavy investments in infrastructure, he said the administration maintained a strong commitment to workers welfare.
