The state is predominantly agricultural with yam tubers, palm produce and rice being their main produce. There is in place an agricultural policy aimed at maximizing its agricultural potentials.
Though the Power Holding Company Of Nigeria (PHCN) has a network of electric installations in the State and their services do not cover most of the communities in the state. This prompted the establishment of a Rural Electrification Board in the State to compliment the power generation capacity..
A great deal of importance is attached to education in the State. As a result of the zeal and interest shown in education, the state government spends a large portion of her budget yearly to ensure that necessary facilities for education are provided.

These are the University of Nigeria Nsukka which is a federal government institution, the Enugu State University of Science and Technology, the Institute of Management and Technology, Enugu; College of Education Eha-Amufu and College of Agriculture, Ikwo. There is also a privately owned University Called Caritas University-Enugu.
The provision of medical facilities in Enugu State ranks second to education in order of priority and takes a large chunk of the annual budget. The state government is making serious efforts to ensure that hospitals and health centres, as well as maternity homes are provided in all the local government areas o f the state.
The most outstanding hospital in the state is the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Enugu. The teaching hospital is supplemented by a government general hospital, the Park Lane Hospital, Enugu and an Orthopaedic Hospital.
