Enugu Governor Mbah Approves ITF Digital Fabrication Centre

Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State has approved the allocation of land in Enugu for the establishment of a Digital Fabrication Centre by the Industrial Training Fund (ITF). This announcement was made during a courtesy visit from an ITF delegation.

Mbah described the project as timely and aligned with his administration's vision of transforming Enugu into a hub for investment and technology-driven industrial development. He emphasized the importance of investing in human capital and emerging technologies, noting that technical education has become compulsory in the state's basic education system.

The governor highlighted the establishment of smart schools equipped with modern facilities to prepare youths for the global economy. Afiz Ogun, the Director-General of the ITF, mentioned that the Fund aims to upskill Nigerian artisans to international standards and has already established a similar centre in Ikeja, Lagos.

Ogun requested the land allocation in Enugu to replicate this initiative, which is expected to produce over 400 different products.
