The First Lady of Ekiti State, Bisi Fayemi, has urged the federal government to ban imported ‘Aso-Oke’ fabric and revive the nation’s textile industry to boost sustainable economic growth.

“I will not be a hypocrite to say that we should ban all fabrics because I do wear imported fabrics every now and then.

Also, Olufolake AbdulRazaq, Wife of the Kwara State Governor, said that African fashion had evolved and being embraced by lots of foreigners, even in Hollywood movies. “There is a keen awareness about the fashion industry and we need to position the fashion industry to grow the Nigerian economy,” she said.

Mrs Ajila-Ladipo urged the government to create an enabling environment through positive policy and direct involvement with the industry to boost growth and development of the sector. Helen Ugboh, Business Manager, Corporate Banking, First Bank of Nigeria, said that the bank’s support for the AFWN aimed to increase engagement and international recognition of African fashion which was consistent with its drive to enable SME development.

“At FirstBank, we put our customers and SMEs at the heart of our business because SME empowerment is a cause we hold dearly.“Our 125-year stay has seen us making impact in every aspect of national development. As you may be aware, we are also a huge supporter of home grown textile and textile in general.
