In this deep-dive session, we explore why Aba is emerging as one of the most powerful investment frontiers in Nigeria as we head into 2026. Long known as the “Japan of Nigeria” for its unmatched craftsmanship and entrepreneurial energy, Aba is entering a new industrial phase driven by improved infrastructure and more stable electricity from the Geometric Power project.

This episode breaks down the real opportunities across manufacturing, logistics, real estate, and service-based businesses. From building original shoe and fashion brands to launching tech-enabled delivery services, producing everyday consumer goods, and developing commercial property, we look at where smart capital and strong execution can unlock serious growth.

We also examine the broader forces working in Aba’s favor, including its strategic location as a trade bridge, its deep pool of skilled artisans, and growing government support for long-term industrial development.

If you are an entrepreneur, investor, or operator looking beyond the usual cities and searching for high-potential, production-driven markets, this deep-dive session will show you why Aba deserves your attention now.
