The Made-in-Aba products campaign which the Abia State Government is championing has taken yet another positive turn, with the state owned polytechnic, Abia State Polytechnic Aba, ready to make waste conversion and disposal equipments locally.
Abia State Government, under the leadership of Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, successfully stimulated and fired the innate spirit of ingenuity in the Abia man with the strident and focused campaign to produce and buy made in Aba products to generate jobs and grow the economy of the country.
It is in our interest, as a state and people, to stop distracting the government in Abia, and instead support the efforts of Governor Okezie Ikpeazu in making Abia truly the number one state; the SME capital of Nigeria as well as the commercial nerve centre/production hub of Nigeria.
These equipment pictured here, were fabricated by the engineering department of the Abia State Polytechnic Aba.
Abia State Polytechnic at Aba is a technological institution, with prospects to become Abia State University of Technology in the near future.
The AbiaPoly Engineering Department will be partnering with the Abia State Environmental Protection Agency (ASEPA) in the provision of waste disposal bins (popularly known in Aba as ASEPA bucket) that will be used for waste management.
Also, desks for primary and secondary school children that will be used in Abia and other states, will be produced by the Abiapoly and her students.
