  "summary": "The Enugu State Government has partnered with Humatrix Limited to establish a Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) hub in the state, with a long-term goal of creating over 100,000 jobs for young people. This initiative aligns with Governor Peter Mbah’s economic diversification agenda and aims to position Enugu as a leading destination for digital services in Nigeria and Africa. The agreement was signed at Government House, Enugu, and the company, having assessed the investment climate, policy consistency, and supportive environment, will start with a 750-seat BPO centre, expanding to over 2,000 seats within the first year, and targeting 100,000 jobs within five years. The partnership is seen as a significant step towards realising the governor’s vision of growing Enugu’s economy from $4.4 billion to $30 billion, attracting global companies, creating employment, and enabling young people to work for international clients from Enugu.",
