Enugu Govt Charges Teachers To Embrace ICT Skills
Teachers deployed to various Smart Green Schools in Enugu State have been enjoined to brace for the innovations attendant to the new schools ahead of their resumption on 12th September, 2025.
The charge was made by the Executive Chairman of the Enugu State Universal Basic Education Board (ENSUBEB), Prof Hyginus Okibe, on Tuesday.
Prof Okibe spoke during a meeting he held with the management and staff members of the Board in Enugu.
According to him, as pioneers of the transition to digital teaching and learning, staff members should ensure that the government’s programme and action plans were effectively implemented to deliver meaningful results.
He explained that the management and members of staff of the board would soon begin routine monitoring and supervision of the Smart Schools across the state to ensure maximum efficiency.
He urged the workers to develop their ICT and digital competencies to remain effective and adaptable in the face of evolving educational demands. He commended them for their commitment to the implementation of government initiatives.
He stated that, “As key stakeholders in the sector, they must go the extra mile and carry out their duties with dedication, passion, and selflessness to achieve the board’s objectives.”
He charged them to change their mindset to the positive side “since it will no longer be business as usual”.
Quoting him, “This period calls for personal sacrifice, hard work, perseverance, and fidelity. As one family, we should work as a team, think positively, avoid nagging and eschew all factors that could bring the Board and basic education down in the state.”
He stated that Gov Peter Mbah’s administration would continue to ensure transparency and accountability in the management of the board by ensuring that everybody was carried along in the scheme of things.
He used the occasion to announce that new departments and units would be created in the board and given titles as required by UBEC to broaden operational zones and benefits accruing to them.
He assured that no staff member would be neglected or deprived of their entitlement provided that they were sincere and hardworking.
In his words, “This meeting will be more regular with a view to sharing thoughts on some issues and dialogue in line with some of the changes the board considered necessary to help reposition basic education in the state.”
