Interestingly, the Abia State government under Ikpeazu has had the mantra “#MadeInAba since 2015. No doubt, Noble’s big reputation will give the campaign a big boost. Noble played a prominent role in the recently concluded maiden version of the Aba Fashion Week so it was only natural that this happened eventually. The city still has a great infrastructure and regulatory deficit that will conspire to frustrate any PR campaigns that stakeholders think would upgrade the city’s image. Aba desperately needs to be cleaned up as waste management is almost non-existent. The roads almost do not exist. If any campaign will work, these must be fixed first. However, the appointment of Noble Igwe is a welcome development. Featured Image Source: 36NG
