The Enyimba city is indeed a great city on our soil.
Then what did the city lack and what did they need. I made my research finish to see if I can see any big manufacturing companies in the city but I see non, i research to see if the government has started any manufacturing industries but I see nothing, I only saw a land breaking of a project yet to be started which is a Garments and Leather factory. Not yet built
The only thing I saw on my research was individual manufacturing skills in the city centre of the Ariaria market from their small shops. Why has it took the Abia state governments so long to set up a big factory of massive production of Garment, Shoes, backpack, male and female bags and so on that my people in Aba are already manufacturing from their homes and small shops.
Take a look at the second picture on this post, these are shoes that are been made in the city centre of the market, they have been packed in sacks to be transport to their buyers, look at the quantity of sacks been shipped out from the locals, what will happen if the government supports their efforts and build the biggest shoe manufacturing company in Aba, just like the government of Ethiopia did for their people that made them one of the biggest export of garment in Africa
Even before I was born Aba has been on African map as a city that has performed wonders in times of local manufacturing, for years the government of the state has been sleeping over this, look at how a big revenue has been wasting for years now
Aba would have been china of Africa if the government had known what they are loosing, Aba would hav been the richest and most developed city in Nigeria if the government are with their right senses.
If only they know how much Ethiopian government are making alone in their Garment industry, just garment oo while Aba produces all kinds of wears, from head to the toe, and other leather production works.
Why is Aba city still this backward no single development with all these sharp technicians roaming around the city. Not even a big government Shopping complex is there for the people, the governor need to visit Tejuosho shopping Complex in Yaba lagos and see wonders his igbo brothers and sisters are doing there, making clothes that are been shipped to many other west African countries, why can’t made IN ABA be seen in the UK and US. Just because the government are still sleeping
