Honoring Senator Abaribe’s Invitation: A Productive Visit to Abia State
Visited Aba, Abia State, by invitation of Senator Abaribe. Met ADC stakeholders and discussed moving Nigeria from consumption to production. Aba's garment/shoe industry is key to our new future

Yesterday, Saturday 28th March, I travelled to Aba, Abia State to honour the invitation of the representative of the people Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe and to meet stakeholders of the Africa Democratic Congress (ADC).
I thank Senator Abaribe and his team for the warm reception and I thank Governor Alex Otti for the good work he has done in Enyimba City.
I had a one-hour interview with Magic fm which is my first interview on the radio and TV this year. I thank the stakeholders of ADC for their warm welcome and the good interaction we had.
When I speak about moving the country from consumption to production Aba remains one of the cities that will contribute immensely to that as it remains a home for garment and shoe production. Both products, garments and shoe remains top and earn as much as we earn from oil for Bangladesh and Vietnam respectively and can do so for Nigeria if well managed and supported.
Our challenge remains Competent leadership with capacity, compassion, and commitment to the development of our country as it is in other comparable nations.
A New Nigeria Is POssible. -PO
