Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, has said his administration deliberately allocates over 30 per cent of the state’s annual budget to education to transform Enugu into a knowledge-based economy.
He explained that the state was already reaping the benefits of the massive investment, as reflected in the growing population of students across academic institutions.
Governor Mbah spoke at the 43rd to 50th consolidated convocation ceremony of the Institute of Management and Technology (IMT), Enugu.
A total of 27,848 graduates of Ordinary National Diploma (OND) and Higher National Diploma (HND) programmes, spanning eight academic sessions, participated in the combined convocation.
Represented by his deputy, Ifeanyi Ossai, Mbah said the government would continue to support educational development in all its ramifications.
