In line with its commitment to transform the city of Aba to enable it realise its full potentials, the Abia State government said it is organising a development summit from January 13 to 15, 2016, in Aba, the state’s commercial nerve.
The Aba Urban Development Summit, which is the first to be held in the state, is expected to have in attendance CEOs of banks, foreign government emissaries, captains of industry, development partners and other stakeholders. In a letter signed by the state Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, the summit “is in line with one of the cardinal development agenda of our administration, which is to drive sustainable and all-inclusive development in Abia State. Aba, as the commercial nerve of the state, when sustainably developed, will trigger development activities in other parts of the state.”
The summit, which is being organised in partnership with the Ford Foundation, seeks to “convene key policy makers, social, economic and technical experts and investors and entrepreneurs to discuss the key priorities and levers for unlocking the full potentials of Aba.”
Not only that, the summit, according to the governor’s letter, is also expected to “showcase opportunities for the private sector and development community to partner Aba in particular and Abia more broadly to invest in the infrastructure, power, agriculture, manufacturing and services sectors.”
