Enugu State is taking another major step towards building a modern and digitally driven public service, as the state government has completed the 5th batch of its Civil Servants Digital Literacy Programme, bringing the total number of trained civil servants to over 15,000.

The programme, which is part of Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah’s broader transformation agenda, is designed to equip workers with practical digital skills needed to improve efficiency and productivity across the state’s civil service.

Participants are being trained in areas including computer proficiency, digital documentation, spreadsheets and data management, presentation development, online collaboration and cybersecurity awareness.

For a state targeting a $30 billion economy by 2031, the government believes that having a digitally competent workforce is just as important as building roads, schools, hospitals and other physical infrastructure.

The objective is straightforward: enable civil servants to work faster, make better use of data, reduce dependence on paper-based processes and ultimately deliver more efficient public services to residents.

The completion of the fifth batch also signals a sustained investment in the capacity of the state’s workforce, with the government positioning digital literacy as a key component of its public-sector reform strategy.

Under Governor Mbah’s leadership, the administration says its transformation agenda is not limited to infrastructure development but also focuses on strengthening the people and institutions required to sustain Enugu’s economic growth.

With 15,000-plus civil servants already trained across five batches, Enugu appears to be placing human capital and digital competence at the centre of its ambition to build a smarter and more productive government.

Five batches completed. Over 15,000 trained. And the message from Enugu is clear: the journey towards a $30 billion economy will require not just new infrastructure, but a civil service equipped for the future.
