The Abia State Government, committed to transforming the city of Aba
to enable it realise its full potential, is organising a development
summit taking place from January 13 to 15, 2016, and to be held in
Aba.
The first of its kind, the Aba Urban Development Summit, is expected
to have in attendance CEOs of banks, foreign government emissaries,
captains of industry, development partner organisations and an array
of stakeholders.
In a letter signed by the State Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, the
Summit “is in line with one of the key cardinal development agendas 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”.
Aside the expected participating stakeholders, the entire Abia State
Executive Council and members of the Abia State House of Assembly,
will make up the projected 300 participants. Participation at the
Summit is strictly by invitation.
