The project is expected to be inaugurated in 2023.
The artisans are from the Leather and Allied Product Manufacturers Association of Abia State (LEPMAAS) and the Union of Tailors and Fashion Designers of Abia (UTFD), a news agency reported.
Speaking at the event, LEPMAAS President, Mazi Okechukwu Williams, said that Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu had ordered the stakeholders to commence work on the site two months ago, but that it was delayed to set somethings right.
The cluster would reportedly make the artisans and their children shop owners for life.
The cluster would require over N30 billion and would have facilities like a police station, banks, a fire service post, CCTV cameras, hotels and other services.
