Concluding part….
Anih who has been into the business of shoemaking for more than 18-years says the year 2016 was different, and that despite the fact that materials are a bit costly, the demand for goods have been encouraging.
Interestingly, the shoemaker says he is not aware that the FG ordered 50,000 pairs of boots for the Nigerian army. “I am not aware that such amount of boots were ordered by the FG. Even if those boots were ordered for, I am not sure they were not made in Ariaria market.
When probed further about where he thinks the boots ordered for by the FG could be manufactured. Anih said; “I don’t know; maybe the person contracted imported the boots from outside Nigeria but I am not sure they were made-in-Aba”.
