Senator Orji Kalu welcomes First Lady Oluremi Tinubu to Abia

Senator representing Abia North Senatorial District, Orji Uzor Kalu, has welcomed Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, to Abia State on the occasion of her visit to the Akwete Weaving Cooperative Society in Akwete, Ukwa East Local Government Area.

Kalu gave the welcome in a statement issued on Monday by his media office.

He described the visit as an opportunity to draw greater attention to the rich cultural heritage of Akwete weaving, one of Nigeria’s most renowned indigenous crafts.

He said sustained support for the weaving industry would help preserve an important aspect of the nation’s cultural identity while creating economic opportunities for local artisans, particularly women and young people.

The former Abia State governor expressed optimism that the First Lady’s visit would encourage increased investment and initiatives aimed at promoting indigenous industries, empowering local communities, and preserving Nigeria’s cultural heritage.

Kalu wished the First Lady a successful and memorable visit to Abia State and commended individuals and organisations working to promote the state’s cultural heritage and entrepreneurial potential.
