Aba, located in the southeast of Nigeria and the commercial centre of Abia State is a bustling town of settlers – most of whom have been attracted by the lure of doing business in an energised community. It has a population of over 600,000, with over one-tenth of this population being artisans producing garments and leather shoes and fabricating machines. One in six of these people is a manufacturer and an employer of labour.The normal average in Aba is one shop owner to between five to seven workers. The most common refrain in Aba is, When I finish I will get money to start my own’ and that is why you would get so many people who have more than two decade’s experience doing the same thing. These business owners continue to mentor others. To promote a new image for “Made In Aba” goods TBWA Concept partnered with Ford Foundation and the Abia State Government, to develop the “Proudly Made in Aba” campaign.
