I don't need to tell you that my oga I know them they know me that's all. I see and understand how they reason, they know if they buy Italian an Italian man becomes richer and create more jobs for Italian community make his people job less. Put Italian on it the rich once will reject it, only the price can attract them.

Currently wearing made in Aba slippers..Bought it on November last year..Very very nice

Ponponkon:

Yesterday, Governor Okezie Ikpeazu hosted and welcomed the Minister for Trade and Investment, Dr Okey Enelamah who is visiting Abia officially since after his inauguration as Minister.
He listened as the governor told him what we are doing in the state.
The Minister concurred with the governor that Abia, Aba in particular, is the saving grace to Nigeria in the days ahead with regards to SMEs.
It might interest you to know that Dr Emelamah is among Abians in Lagos who volunteered themselves to offer pieces of advice to the Governor during the campaign time.
The governor used the occasion of the minister's visit to show him what Aba can do in leather works as he presented made in Aba shoes to him.

Kindly inform the Governor that it's more appropriate to display thousands of shoes for men, women, children, and industrial. Five pairs of well-made shoes are a good beginning, but he knows it doesn't take too much efforts to roll them out in thousands.

And he can do it.

Also Aba Made. .

Proud of you all my brothers, one love. Igbo kwenu!

The truth is this, I have bought a number of these Aba-made without regrets. They offer fantastic value and I will continue to buy them, not just because I want to support the local industry, but because they actually are good.

While we may pursue the international market, these manufacturers should know that with a population of over 170 million in Nigeria and over 300 million in the ECOWAS sub region, they are yet to come close to their market potential. I would gladly invest my money in such ventures, no joke.

asorocker:
My suggestion is to take these shoe samples to the developed countries like Britain, United States, Canada, Germany etc, they will carry out a quality of products test on these shoes and once these shoes pass the test an export corridor like the AGOA would be opened between Aba and the United States, Britain, Canada and Germany.

Aba would now compete with China for American shoes market.


Quality assurance should be taken very seriously,
Training and capacity building for the skilled workers, provision of capital at very little interest rates for purchase of equipment and machines.
The construction of industrial clusters where these things can be made and packaged very well for export.

The access to the sea via aba sea port or akwa ibom sea port for easy export of products and import of raw materials.

If Aba gets 10% of the shoe industry of the developed world that would be making more than 100 million shoes coupled with the ones they make for local consumption it would become a real shoe cluster.

Shoes will become to aba what watches became to Switzerland

God bless ikpeazu

alcmene:
Nice development....
Should the minister visits Osun, what will he presented with?...indian hemp

What if he ventures into Daura?..Fura and suya are of no economic importance

If he goes to Osun, it will be raw GOLD.

chinchum:
If he goes to Osun, it will be raw GOLD.

God created raw gold not Osun ppl. we will applaud them when they tranfrom the raw gold into fantstic jewelries

Yanks101:
And yet you can't produce toothpick.
This is how you africans downgrade chinese products while china silently became an economic and military powerhouse in just 30 years.

Here's a short list of the many things we produce in Nigeria, and they far surpass whatever ''toothpicks'' nonsense you're on about:

Paint
Chemicals
Motor Vehicles
Tyres
Building materials
Pharmaceuticals
Packaging Materials
Computers
Wires and Industrial cables
Machinery
Cement
Petroleum products
Food processing
Soaps, Cosmetics

(Let's know if you need links posted to these manufacturers)


Oh..and the country also boasts world class banking and insurance sectors, and a robust financial, maritime, and agricultural profile.


Many thanks!

Mynd44 and lalasticlala Abia State is championing national development and integration. Please President Buhari our federal roads in Abia need your attention Sir!

Impressive! My Igbo brothers and sisters giving Italian shoemakers a run for their money.

Buhari should provide long term loans to these people who are self-employed.

In advance nations people like you can only dream of wearing what you are calling fake because they are termed as HANDMADE SHOES and not mass produced. Each is individually hand stitched and filed.
You see, in life a man's greatest sickness is no lack of education but total ignorance and you seem to have in abundance based on your inferiority complex comment.

That cheap shoes you had on your feet now from China was probably manufactured inside someone's kitchen.
What a Pinhead!!

KELECHUKWU89:

U no just get am mine is made by mudi

asorocker:


Aba should do what China did, clone the best names and offer the same quality at a cheaper price

That's the catch, Chinese phones don't offer the same quality as established brands.
