Former President of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has urged the Federal Government to ban the importation of Chinese adire and also revive the textile industry in order to protect the local production of adire at a time when raw materials used in the production of adire, such as clothes, can no longer be locally sourced.
His words: “I want to appreciate the traditional rulers who attended this event; you have shown that you are real custodians of culture. People are saying China wants to bastardise our awful product; if not, we don’t value what we have. I want to commend the Ogun State government for the initiative of Oja Itoku for a direct market. It is good, but not good enough if we don’t have direct sellers in the market.
“What the government needs to do for us is not much. The first thing the government needs to do for us is revive the textile industry. Let us beg them to do that for us. The second one is the formal training institution where people will learn how to produce adire and get certified at the end of the period of their learning.
