Enugu State signs BPO hub partnership targeting 100,000 jobs in 1995
What happened
In January 1995, the Enugu State Government signed a partnership agreement to establish a Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) hub in Enugu State. This initiative aimed to create over 100,000 jobs and establish Enugu as a leading destination for digital services in Nigeria and Africa. Separately, a political support group endorsed Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for re-election in 2027, pledging support for All Progressives Congress candidates.
