The problem
Abia entered the Fourth Republic reliant on federal allocation and civil-service employment, with limited functioning industry despite Aba's history as a manufacturing and trading hub.
What was done
Kalu campaigned hard against 'civil-service state' dependence, but the record of what changed structurally is not well documented, and the state remained allocation-reliant.
