The long awaited Made-in-Aba Fashion show was held last night in New York in fulfillment of the pledge made by Governor Okezie Ikpeazu to ensure that Aba tailors and designers are given a global platform to strut their stuff.

The event was the annual convention of the Abia State National Association of North America.

Selected designers from Aba shipped their products to the US and they were modeled by Abia sons and daughters who live in the US to the admiration of the crowd that attended the event.

Deputy Governor Ude Oko Chukwu and his wife, Viviene represented Governor Okezie Ikpeazu at the event and restated the commitment of the State Government to continue to provide support to local manufacturers in the state, as a strategy of boosting the local economy in the state.

President of the Abia State National Association of North America, Dr. Chris Ike told the audience that this was their own little contribution to help boost the dreams of the Ikpeazu administration to help reposition the state.

Delivering a keynote speech, Senator representing Abia South at the Nigerian Senate, Enyinnaya Abaribe stated that the efforts at turning the economy of Aba town and the entire state is being badly hit by the current agitation which creates a picture of insecurity thereby discouraging people from coming to do business in Aba.

Also present at the large gathering were Singer Ruffcoin 'Nwa Aba', Abia Chief press secretary, Enyinnaya Appolos and a host of other prominent Men of 'Aba' origin.

This is the reason why the Afonjas won't not let the igbos go.. They are too valuable.. Quote me and see ogun thunder visit you..

So you mean to tell me this Gowns are made in Aba, how do they portray the culture and heritage of Aba people and igbos in general

If only they can be giving the manpower and government of the day patronize them. If only we Nigeria can patronize what we have, believe me the country will be the best

That's a good one

They should focus on elevating their brand instead of recreating other product and misspelling their nomenclature e.g

Nika instead of Nike

Abibas instead of adidas

Gusi instead of Gucci
Sanel instead of Chanel

Etc

we ve to promote our own.
These guys can compete wit the best from anywhere if they r encouraged by the government nd d local consumers

Igbo kwenu!

Nice one.

ok

Hmmmm. Well done

Nice

See this man they are making products for people from every angle to use and not necessary igbos.......go and tell Gucci,paul smith,polo etc to make products specially for their use.

Haters would always disgrace themselves in public.They don't think before they comment due to that strong urge to hate.
