Former President, Goodluck Jonathan has commended the quality of goods made in Aba saying that the negative perception by consumers of made-in-Aba products has changed.
Jonathan shared his thoughts in Umuahia during the University of Port Harcourt 1980s Alumni reunion and award event.
The former president who was represented by Godknows Igali, said that the downgraded outlook on Aba products had changed and that the place was attracting more customers, following the efforts of Governor Alex Otti.
“The presence of Alex Otti in Abia State shows intentionality in leadership.
“He came prepared. Before, in Abia State, once they say Aba made, people would laugh, but today, people are scrambling for Aba made”, Jonathan said.
The former President said that the University of Port Harcourt was the only institution in Nigeria that had produced 6 Governors, a Vice President and a President.
Responding, Otti thanked the members of Uniport Alumni for the meeting and for visiting some sites of projects he was executing.
The event was attended by Bayelsa State Governor, Duoye Diri, former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi and others.
