Made in ABA in Igbo land.
I bought this pair of footwear in 2024, and to my greatest surprise, it has completely changed my perception of Made in Aba products. Despite the negative things some people say about Aba-made shoes, this footwear is still in excellent condition today.
I personally used it for over one year and six months before handing it over to my younger brother. Throughout that period, it was used almost every day, including for bathing, yet it has neither torn nor required any repair from a shoemaker. That level of durability speaks for itself.
My honest assessment is that Aba manufacturers are capable of producing world-class, long-lasting products. The quality you get often depends on the specifications you request and the capital invested in production. The same principle applies globally. China, for example, produces both low-quality and premium products depending on the buyer's budget and requirements.
Aba remains one of the greatest manufacturing hubs in Africa, driven by the creativity, skill, and resilience of Igbo entrepreneurs and craftsmen. Instead of looking down on locally made products, we should support and promote them because they create jobs, drive innovation, and strengthen our economy.
The talent in Igbo land is undeniable. Give an Igbo craftsman the right tools, resources, and market, and he can compete with the best in the world.
Igbo to the world. Aba made, globally respected.

Earlier today, I arrived in Cape Town, South Africa, to take part in the Spier Dialogue 2026, an important event centred on the future of Africa and the urgent challenges facing our continent and the globe.
The Spier Dialogue occurs at a crucial time as Africa grapples with significant issues in governance, democracy, economic inclusion, urbanisation, migration, and leadership. However, it also highlights the vast opportunities presented by the energy and creativity of our young population.
As leaders and stakeholders gather from various regions, I look forward to partaking in insightful discussions, especially as I have the privilege of addressing attendees tomorrow on policies geared toward growth.
Africa’s future should not be characterised by poverty amid abundance or by division instead of development. It is time for us to transition from consumption to production, from divisive politics to politics built on competence and compassion, and from mere promises to tangible progress that serves everyday citizens.
Upon my arrival, I had the opportunity to meet with the Nigerian community in Cape Town for a heartfelt discussion about the recent challenges affecting African expatriates in South Africa, resulting in over two hours of fruitful dialogue.
I remain dedicated to advocating for a New Nigeria and a New Africa—one where governance genuinely serves the people, where the youth are equipped with education and opportunities, and where leadership is founded on integrity, service, and sacrifice.

Tinubu in Jos Confirms ‘Don't Vote for Me’ Prediction on Power Supply
During the 2023 campaign, President Tinubu made a clear electoral promise: “If I don’t give you constant electricity in four years, don’t vote for me for a second term.”
When he took office in 2023, Nigeria had a power supply of over 4,000 megawatts and lower tariffs. Today, the electricity power supply is less than 4,000 megawatts on the average, and Nigerians are paying higher tariffs. Nigeria currently has the lowest per capita electricity consumption in the world, with a rate below 30% of the African average. Africa’s average is 617kwh, Nigeria’s is 144 kWh. This means that Nigerians consume least electricity than other Africans.
In a glaring display of disregard for promises and a lack of trust, President Tinubu, during a brief airport stopover to visit grieving families of the Jos attack on Thursday, April 2, 2026, stated that one of the reasons for his 10-minute stay was that the airport had no electricity. “You have no light here I fly out in ten minutes” At a time when Nigerians are enduring days without power, our leaders cannot even stay a few minutes without it.
Now is the time to stop incompetent leaders—those lacking the capacity and compassion—who prioritise their own comfort over the well-being of the people and make empty promises.

As a Nigerian residing in the United States, I pay my taxes without any resentment. The government deducts the taxes from my bi-weekly paycheck and I can see the result in good roads, efficient emergency services, and well-functioning systems.
In contrast, back home, while I pay taxes, I am responsible for managing various aspects of my life. I have to pay to fix my own roads, purchase fuel for my generator, and even provide my own security.
Yesterday at Abia State University, Uturu (ABSU), I was honoured to be received by a mammoth crowd of vibrant students as we commissioned landmark projects and unveiled bold initiatives that will shape the future of our great institution.
* Commissioned a refurbished 5 MVA Power Station (upgraded from 2.5 MVA) to ensure steady electricity supply for ABSU, Uturu, and adjoining communities.
* Delivered 3 retrofitted hostels (A, B & C) to improve student living conditions.
* Flagged off construction of:
- 5,000-bed Female Hostel
- 5,000-bed Male Hostel
- Faculty of Agriculture & Faculty of Law buildings
- 1.8km Internal Road Project
At the 30th–32nd Combined Convocation Ceremony, I also announced:
- Automatic lecturing jobs for all First-Class graduates as Graduate Assistants (after NYSC).
- Postgraduate scholarships up to PhD level for First-Class graduates in public universities nationwide.
- A ₦200 million Business Grant to support 100 graduates with innovative enterprise ideas in agriculture, ICT, clean energy, and more.
We also celebrated our best graduating student, Mrs. Oluchi Etumsi, with a personal token, and congratulated our distinguished honourees including His Imperial Majesty, the Ooni of Ife, Barr. Dr. Allen Onyema, and Dr. Stella Okoli.
Education remains the bedrock of our vision for Abia State. We are committed to building institutions that inspire excellence, innovation, and leadership.
Step by step, project by project, ABSU is being transformed into a hub of innovation, excellence, and leadership.

Punishing migrant workers won't solve our problems. They never caused them.
Migrants didn't break the NHS - people from across the world staff it.
Migrant workers didn't make households poorer. It was the super-rich taking a bigger share.
We need solutions, not scapegoats.
