A Message from the Honorable Commissioner
Prof. Boniface G. Nworgu
Honourable Commissioner for Labour and Employment
In a rapidly changing economy, our duty as a government is not only to create jobs but to prepare our people for the future of work. At the Ministry of Labour and Employment, we believe in building strong institutions, promoting fair labour practices, and equipping our workforce with the skills and confidence needed to thrive.
As Commissioner, I am honored to serve in a time when building a strong labour force is key to our state's future. We are passionate about unlocking opportunities for every Imolite — from rural artisans to tech-savvy graduates. Through strategic partnerships, reforms, and impactful programs, we are laying the foundation for a more inclusive and productive Imo State.
I invite all citizens, institutions, and investors to partner with us as we position Imo for labour-driven prosperity. Together, we can build a vibrant, skilled, and employed population that drives the prosperity and productivity of our great state.
