Obasanjo has commended Governor Okezie Ikpeazu
for promoting home made products. Former president of Nigeria, Olusegun
Obasanjo has encouraged the purchase of indigenous products by placing an order
for made-in-Aba shoes.
Obasanjo placed the order for the shoes
during the 2016 Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurship Forum in Lagos, Daily Post
reports. Speaking as one of the panellist at the forum, Obasanjo commended
Governor Okezie Ikpeazu for promoting indigenous products.
“Governor,
I listened to you and I commend you for what you’re doing in Abia. Please keep
doing what you’ve told us you’re doing,” he said.
Ikpeazu, who serves as the marketing
officer of made-in-Aba product said Aba remains the small and medium
enterprises (SMEs) capital of Nigeria, where young Nigerians were engaged in
the business of making of shoes, clothing and other products. The Abia state
governor added that a firm that had an order to supply up to 50,000 military
boots was currently in Aba, where Aba shoemakers were making the production.
Ikpeazu said: “I am happy to announce here that Aba which is the commercial nerve
centre of the Abia State and Old Eastern Region of Nigeria, is also the SME
capital of Nigeria, where young people are in the business of making shoes,
bags and clothes, including the one I am wearing. “Let me also announce here
that a private firm, that has an order to supply 50,000 military boots is
currently in Aba, where our shoemakers are in production for the firm.”
