“As a country globally recognized for her rich culture and diverse tradition, our country Nigeria boasts of an incredible array of fashion choices and fabrics. Notable amongst these fabrics is the adire, which has found favour amongst people all over the continent of Africa and as far as Europe, America, Canada and Asia.
“The fashion industry has also continued to grow by the day, with more and more people coming into adire production, and bringing in various innovations. As a way of promoting this very thriving fashion and garment industry, which by the way will also be doubling as promotion for Nigeria’s culture and tradition, Lady of Africa Foundation, has embarked on a mission to take the highly appreciated fabric to an entirely different level through exhibitions and carnivals.
She added that invitation is still open to all to experience the beauty and richness of the African culture, which will be abundantly on display on these special days, including traditional cuisine, emu fun fun (African palm wine), eran igbe and so on.
“The foundation will also in the coming year, be taking this adire promotion to South Africa, Europe and America, to satisfy the craving of lovers of the adire fabric in those parts of the world. The Lady of Africa Foundation hopes to empower up to 50million Nigerian women and youth through its various activities. Already, lots of people in the country - privileged and the less-privileged have been empowered through direct and indirect job opportunities creation by the foundation through its various promotion and marketing of the fabric.
The foundation she said is also seizing the opportunity to call for support from culture-loving people, corporate organisations, federal and state governments and parastatals to ensure that this years’ event becomes a big success.
The dress code for the carnival still remains the popular Nigerian indigo attire (adire), which can be ordered at adunbisworld.com, OLX Nigeria, konga.com and from Lady of Africa Ambassador vendors.
