Abia State is another crucial state in the South East with its capital at Umuahia and Aba as the major commercial nerve center of the state in terms of industrialization. Aba is known for its ingenuity and the industry of its people in handcrafts, including fashion and design, shoe making, textiles, steel works and fabrications, plastics and cosmetics, amongst others, this has result to the greater generation of internally generated revenue used in running the state. Goods in Aba can be purchased at different cheaper rates depending on its qualities. Made in Aba goods like bags, shoes, belts and garments make waves in other countries not just in West African Sub-region but also beyond its periphery. Aba has what it takes to become an industrial hub of Nigeria therefore needs a facelift by Nigeria government on its market to openly atualize its widest dream.

If only the Nigerian government can focus more and encourage the people of that region in terms of their skillfulness, we have another China in the making.

Mary you are right.. Thats what we r praying for

Weldone bro. You're getting there. Keep up the good work

Oh, yeah.. Thanks so much

Nigeria has all it takes to be the giant of Africa if only it would encourage their citizens to be the best at what they do.

That is what the majority wants but the elites are afraid of empowering the average citizen just to make sure the country is still in control of their family members
