30 trainees out of 100 shoemakers/ shoe cobblers are set to leave the shores of Nigeria to China for a 30 day automated shoe training programme. The programme is put together by the State Government as part of her efforts to promote made in Aba.

Immediately they return, another batch will depart for same purpose.

The first batch has 3 non Abians who were carefully selected to join others.

Today, a prayer ceremony was organized at the Government House, to ask for God's guidance and wisdom on the trainees.

Governor of Abia State Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu charged the trainees to be of good behavior, learn every single step and bring back the knowledge for others to learn.

Nice development. I want to see this replicated in all 36 states.

Must they wear that mechanic uniform?

This is a good move. This governor has been pushing for the modernization of cottage industries in Aba.

Even though Aba manufactures lots of high volume consumer products. Most of them require so much man power and can be easily done with modern machines.

It time to move to the next stage of development by using modern machines to increase production and efficiency.

The key is to setup industrial zones with exclusive power generation in that zone.

This governor sha..
As if your people dont produce enough fake products already, You're sending them to china to go enhance their skill .
Aba would soon be the hub of fake products

The vultures are already here jurt to hate on the hard working IGBO men....


They always envy their superiors and that always make them to fail in everything.

Where will osun get money to send her own shoemakers to China?? Make dem pay salaries first

This is a commendable development from the state government. If we train our people to learn simple things and learn them to be experts, in no distant time we will be the manufacturers of simple things.

The funniest part is that the simple are the most used things in the world because they are readily available.

Use what God gave you now. . .
Osun too trained people, maybe not shoemakers. I suspect they were medical doctors, but can't recall it now.

Correct. Tailors too can copy this.

This is far better than sponsoring of religious tourisms .

You are nothing but a big hypocrite. If this was Osun you would have cooked up a reason to criticize the move. How do you folks live with yourselves with all that bad-belle.

Most Nigerians both rich and poor wear aba made product but don't even know it.

That is human capital development. Knowledge is indeed power.

Where did we go wrong with Rochas?


How did we offend God

Nice Development Better than following and drinking Nnamdi Kanus urine up and Down

The governor should make Sure he buys them modern equipments to fully harness their potentials...

Buy Nigeria, Grow Nigeria...

Sai Buhari...

Grow up.

Desyner:
I know I'm a two-faced hypocrite and I talk a lot of shyt.

Fixed.

Hopefully china wont “steal” and patent these boys designs

nice one by d SG.is better than raising statue

Skilled manpower, modern technology/machines without electricity and proportionate tax regime will render this great effort useless.

No stable electricity, no tangible development.

Truth!

Fixed.

Grow up

Another propaganda..

Shoemakers that seasoned Yoruba shoe doctors will train at lesser fee. Waste of resources.

Nice move....


But some people will show there hatred faces and words...


Ngeneukwenu how is benue state... See how the brothers of your paymaster are decimating your uncles.... Sarki how far.

So, all the girls there are shoe makers abi?
