According to him, promoting the establishment of small-scale industries willgreatly boost national productivity.

The governor said his administration remained resolute in boosting the growth of small-scale industries in Abia and the nation at large.

He described the people of Bende as key players in the small-scale manufacturing sector of the Abia economy.

Ikpeazu added that it was pertinent for the people of the area to support initiatives that would help to promote small-scaleindustries.

Responding, the chairman of the council, Eze Patrick Ude, said that the people of Bende would not relent in contributing to the socio-economic transformation of Abia.
