President Muhammadu Buhari surely loves every Nigerian
regardless of their ethnicity.
According to Leadership, he informed that the federal
government was prepared to encourage local fabricators of
machine, tools, and spares.
Abaribe hailed the theme of the summit, “Extracting Practical
Solutions to Unlocking the Potentials of Aba” as being apt and
hoped that the recommendations will be adopted and
implemented.

Governor Okezie Ikpeazu while declaring the summit open,
stated that collective effort to return Aba, the commercial nerve
centre of the state to its former glory should be done as a
matter of urgency.

According to him, there was a time when every spare part that
could not be found any where in the country would be brought
to Aba and be fabricated locally, adding that some textiles
made in Aba were also exported to other parts of Africa and
international investors.


According to him, Aba remains one of the best places to invest
in and stated his readiness to provide investors the right
environment that would grow their businesses.
The Governor stated that Aba occupies a strategic position in
the economic development of not only Abia state but the South
East generally, adding that his dream is to develop Aba into a
mega city.
Dr Ikpeazu who said that a sea port and industrial parks are
part of the mega city of his dream which is realizable with the
cooperation of the business community.

While pledging to continue improving security in the state and
to do all that is possible to make Abia one of the safest places
in the country, the governor promised to enter into discussion
with Nigerpet on how to open up Aba to a modern city.


Ikpeazu also commended the residents of the town for their
cooperation and made a call for investors to establish 5 – Star
Hotels in Aba as a way of attracting investments into the state.
This news is a corroboration of a report which emerged last
week about the president showing love for the Igbos in spite of
widespread criticisms that he is only concerned about fellow
northerners.

Bigprozzie:
Waste of time

IPOB youths will still complain

IPOB youths will not be satisfied.

They will prefer to import and make 200% profit rather than be patient and produce and manufacture the imported goods themselves

And by the way , the 7.5 million will be for individual projects

LMFashions:


Can you show us from the article where it was stated that it will be for individual projects?

The President Muhammadu Buhari-led federal government has
concluded plans to make about N7.5million available to small
scale entrepreneurs engaged in tools fabrication

Bigprozzie:


I just decided to locate my brain and use it, i will advice you do the same



That means each entrepreneur that qualifies for the programme will receive N7.5 million

londoner:


No it seems the total fund for all is 7.5million.

The article says 'about' 7.5 million which leads me to believe it's the total fund available for this initiative rather than for each project. If that were the case I think it would have been worded differently.
