Baxter, who is based in Lagos, used the visit to meet with local business leaders, entrepreneurs and government officials to discuss potential collaborations and investment opportunities.
Abia State has positioned itself as a centre for innovation, attracting entrepreneurs and fostering a supportive environment for new ventures.
