'Obasanjo makes order for Made-in-Aba Shoes

Former President of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has made an order for Made in Aba shoes.

General Obasanjo (Rtd) made the order through the Chief Marketing Officer of Made-in-Aba Product, Governor Okezie Ikpeazu during the 2016 Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurship Forum in Lagos.

While making his speech at the event, the Abia State Governor stated that Aba remains the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) capital of Nigeria, where young Nigerians are engaged in the business of making of shoes, clothing and other products.

The Governor added that a firm that has an order to supply up to 50,000 military boots is currently in Aba, where Aba shoemakers are making the production.

"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"

Speaking as one of the panelist at the forum, Obasanjo said to Governor Ikpeazu: "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.

"So, Governor Abia, you have to send a pair of the shoes to me, I use size 42." Ibadan no said'

BABA DALU NKE OMA...BUHARI SUPPORTING INDIGENOUS COMMODITIES SINCE TIME IMMEMORIAL

No single foreign shoe in local Eastern market because of made in ABA. Anyway, let keep buying if that's the solution to Buhari Led Recession BLR

BUHARI is also partnering with innoson motors to enhance his production capacity..lets buy naira to grow naira..baba is poised to make 9ja great

Good one from baba confusion himself! Okezie abeg make you collects money for the shoes from him o. Ndia egbugo anyi I tell u!!

And he had to stay in Lagos, in front of the media to make the eye service order? If he wake go Aba, wetin go happen?

CONSPIRACY PROPAGANDA But it wouldn't change our mind of leaving this contraption of bed of strange fellow

Wonders shall never end! So Thief Obasanjo is now ambassaor of #Buy Naija ? The same criminal who tried to "sell" Nigeria ?.

He sold Oil Rich Bakassi land to Cameroon and left us nothing to show for it.

He sold any national assets and oil blocks he can lay his criminal hands on , again he left nothing to show for all these sales.

Incidentally whilst well meaning patriotic Nigerians are buying made in Nigeria Innoson SUVs vehicles , Thief Obasanjo is being praised for asking someone to send him one pair of shoes with no clarification if he intends to pay for it.

That's a welcome development. If China & Japan can make it, then Aba & Nnewi will make it as well.

You mean made in biafra? That's Sweet!

Our leaders may go for Aba made but they will never put it on. All did na cajole.

Okezie you try, but visible "work" has stopped in Aba for a long time now. No access road to even get to the shoemakers you are advertising for. Talk about the cart before the horse. Absurd to say the least

patronize naija to grow naija..#meanwhile I ordered for 56 made in Aba shoes last week n it didn't make FP

That's good. It's a gradual process, Nigeria will surely get there.
God bless Nigeria.

you people will not kill somebody, so he should travel to Aba to make the order or what?

Even if we are tempted to be pessimistic, any publicity is good publicity in this kind of scenario.

Let him order hundreds of pairs of work-boots too for his staff at Obasanjo Farms.

Good move. Support made in aba shoes.

did u read the story its about obasanjo not buhari, some people sef,

Thank you BABA. You are waxing stronger each passing day. Your relevance in the Nigerian political and socio-economic sphere is unrivaled. No one can dispute this fact. Not even your die hard haters, including those that come back to Nigeria to celebrate after delivering a 'collegiate' speech at Oxford or after monitoring a Ugandan regional elections.

If only OBJ had encouraged this when he was president...Igbuya laaro
