Our Story
The Eastern Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies (EIES) was founded in response to Nigeria’s pressing economic realities. With youth unemployment on the rise and educational institutions failing to produce job-ready graduates, the Enugu Anglican Diocese took a bold step in launching EIES to address the skills and employment gap head-on.
We are more than a training institute; we are a catalyst for transformation. Rooted in Christian values and driven by evidence-based methodologies, EIES is building a new generation of ethical, empowered, and economically productive Nigerians.
Our Vision
Is to be a global centre of excellence for ethics-driven leadership and entrepreneurship development.
Our core values are reflected with:
- High spirit of enterprise and the fear of God
- Prosperity, Responsibility and Accountability
- Honesty, Ethies and Humility
- Excellence and efficiency
