Civil servants in Enugu State have expressed excitement following the approval by Governor Peter Mbah of the promotion and conversion of 2,114 public workers.
 
The affected workers participated in the November/December 2025 promotion and conversion exercises conducted across the state’s civil service.
 
The approval, which takes immediate effect, also covers the financial implications of the new ranks, ensuring that beneficiaries begin to enjoy their upgraded status without delay.
 
Chairman of the Enugu State Civil Service Commission, Mr Robison Odo, who disclosed the development yesterday in Enugu, described the gesture as timely and morale-boosting, describing it as an Easter gift to workers.
 
According to him, the exercise cuts across officers on Grade Levels 01 to 17 who successfully passed the promotion interviews.
 
“The 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 assured that the commission would expedite implementation of the governor’s directive.
 
Odo commended the administration for its sustained commitment to workers’ welfare, noting that prompt payment of salaries, pensions, and gratuities had become a hallmark of the government.
 
He further highlighted the state’s N80,000 minimum wage, which exceeds the national benchmark, describing it as a clear demonstration of the governor’s worker-friendly policies.
 
“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,” he added.
 
The chairman pledged continued discipline, innovation, and productivity within the civil service to align with the administration’s development agenda.
