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 exercises in the state.
This development has been met with excitement among civil servants, who lauded the Mbah administration for prioritising their welfare through prompt salary payments, improved working conditions, and capacity development.
Chairman of the Enugu State Civil Service Commission, Mr. Robison Odo, confirmed the approval on Monday, stating, “The executive governor of the state recently gave his approval for the release of the promotion and conversion exercises of 2,061 officers who successfully partook in the 2024 promotion interviews.
“The promotion and conversion exercises affected officers from grade level 01 to grade level 17. On our part, we will waste no time in implementing the governor’s approval.”
Odo commended Governor Mbah for his consistent commitment to workers’ welfare, particularly in ensuring the prompt payment of salaries, pensions, and gratuities.
“We want to appreciate the governor in a special way for all he is doing for workers in the state. Despite the enormous work going on across every sector of the state, he still approved ₦80,000 minimum wage in 2024, which is beyond the national minimum wage benchmark,” he said.
He assured that civil servants would continue to support the administration’s policies to achieve its developmental goals for the state.
“On our part, we will continue to instill discipline in the service, with the commitment to foster creativity, innovation and productivity that would help the success of the government,” he added.
