has urged the federal government to ban the importation of Chinese adire into the country, to save the local market of the fabrics from imminent “bastardization” by the Chinese.
The programme was organised by Solteque Nigeria Ltd where Realtor Babatunde Adeyemo of the Pelican Valley and Mrs Oluwatosin Oloko, Permanent Secretary Ogun State Ministry of Culture & Tourism among others were also guest speakers.
“The second one is the formal training institution where people will be learning how to produce Adire and get certified at the end of the period of their learning. Let us beg the government to do their best to protect our local production of Adire so that the Chinese will not have access to bastardise it for us.
