According to Engr. Mbam, the recruitment and training exercise were made possible through the magnanimous approval of Governor Nwifuru, who is committed to empowering the youth and strengthening the state’s engineering workforce for effective service delivery.

“This training has become necessary to actualize the vision of the People’s Charter of Needs, especially in the area of civil engineering and modern infrastructural development,” he stated. He explained that the initiative aims at equipping the newly recruited workers with the requisite technical and ethical knowledge to deliver on the state’s infrastructural projects and contribute meaningfully to the government’s developmental agenda.
