He said: ”If we can sell our Made in Aba boots to the Nigerian Military and security organizations (Army, Air force, Navy, NSCDC, etc), sell our garments (uniforms) to the same organizations and Nigerian people, then we will feel fulfilled.”

According to the governor, when that goal is achieved, his administration would then begin to market the goods beyond the shores of Nigeria.

Just recently, Senate president, Bukola Saraki was spotted at the National Assembly adorning a Made-in-Aba attire few weeks after he joined Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe to attend the Made-In-Aba Trade Fair in Abuja.

On his part, Dr Ikpeazu was recently in the news for his bold decision to boycott eating of foreign rice.

The governor, it was gathered, has refused to take foreign rice in the last six months as he has reportedly struck it out of his menu.
