The Speaker of Anambra State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Uche Okafor, has endorsed one of the leading Anambra based footwear designers and producers, NANCYSHOECRAFT LEATHERWORKS.

Nancy Shoecraft which measures in the designing of shoes, belts, bags and other items have been making waves in the media space following their unique, creative designs and revolutionary approach in the leather works industry in Anambra State.

In the picture below, Nancy Chidebe who is the Principal designer at Nancy Shoecraft was at the office of the Speaker of Anambra State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Uche Okafor, to showcase her products.

The Speaker who was visibly excited praised the creativity of Nancy Chidebe and also patronised the brand. He commended Nancy for her ingenuity, noting that while young manufacturers like Nancy should be encouraged, Anambrians should begin to look inward by patronizing made-in-Anambra products to ensure economic prosperity.

The visit was facilitated by the lawmaker representing Nnewi North in Anambra State House of Assembly, Hon. Nonso Smart Okafor, who is one of the Ambassadors of the brand.

Nancy Showcraft is based in Ekwulobia in Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra State.
