Enugu State Governor, Dr. Peter Mbah, has approved the promotion and conversion of 2,061 civil servants who participated in the 2024 promotion and conversion exercise in the state.

The decision has been met with excitement among state workers, who have praised the Mbah-led administration for prioritizing their welfare through prompt salary payments, improved working conditions, and capacity-building initiatives.

Speaking on the development, Chairman of the Enugu State Civil Service Commission (ESCSC), Mr. Robison Odo, confirmed the governor’s approval, stating that the affected officers span Grade Level 01 to Grade Level 17.
