Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has tasked senior civil servants on directorate cadre on sustaining disruptive innovations and result-oriented governance already yielding positive fruits in the state.

Mbah gave the task on Monday in Enugu while declaring open a Three-Day Workshop for Directors and Deputy Directors under Enugu State Civil Service.

The theme of the workshop is: “Fiscal Stewardship, Strategic Oversight, and Institutional Integrity in the Era of Disruptive Innovation.”

Represented by the Deputy Governor, Ifeanyi Ossai, the governor noted that senior civil servants must understand and internalise new ideas, policies and programmes meant to ensure prompt service and good governance delivery to the people.

According to him, we need more of these workshops so that you understand government better and you know why we must deal with issues from a new approach to get new and better results.

He said, “Disruptive innovations and embracing E-Governance is all about doing things from a new approach that embrace technology and innovation as well as doing things with empirical facts.

“We have virtually restructured all facets of Enugu State and we need your buy-in and you understanding so that you can explain government policies, programmes and projects better to the people.

“Apart from embracing E-Governance system fully, which eases work and lead to prompt delivery; the state is in the process of totally overhauling the civil service for increase productivity and sustainable growth henceforth.”

In a welcome address, the Enugu State Head of Service, Godwin Anigbo, said that the workshop remained a strategic vehicle for actualising the disruptive Innovation mandate and visionary governing philosophy of Governor, Mbah.

Anigbo said, “Under his leadership, we have fully embraced the task of recalibrating the civil service into an agile, transparent, and technology-driven engine of growth.

“Through this deliberate digital revolution, we are already witnessing a transformative impact on our bureaucratic structures.
