As you may be aware, there is an increased call for promoting and patronising locally made products, such as the Abia State made in Aba Campaign. This in a bid to promote small and medium scale businesses (SMEs) and to boost the Nigeria economy.

Meanwhile, the actress says she is “Super excited” and is honoured to be chosen as the ambassadress for the Summit.

Congratulations to Kate for winning the face of this noble initiative.
