The Enugu State Government has approved the distribution of free agricultural inputs to 63,000 registered smallholder farmers across the state’s 260 wards to boost food production and reduce farming costs.
The distribution, which begins on Tuesday, will provide fertilizers, agrochemicals, and improved seeds under a monitored process to ensure only verified farmers benefit.
The State Executive Council also approved the recruitment of 4,698 additional teachers for the 267 Smart Green Schools and the Centre for Experiential Learning and Innovation (CELI) to strengthen teaching capacity and promote innovation and skills development.
As part of measures to enhance public health preparedness, the government directed the immediate reactivation of all COVID-19 isolation centres following the Ebola outbreak in parts of East Africa. It also ordered the accelerated completion of ongoing hospital expansion projects, with the Enugu International Hospital expected to be commissioned within weeks.
