The Federal Government recently announced the establishment of the Nigeria Fashion Federation, a national coordinating platform that will collaborate with state governments, industry stakeholders to promote Nigerian fashion in alignment with the Confederation of African Fashion’s continental framework.

The Minister of Arts, Culture and Creative Economy, Hannatu Musawa, made this known in an ongoing press briefing in Abuja on the Federal Government’s adoption of the Afroliganza vision.

The African Fashion Renaissance, known as Afroliganza, is a continental vision pioneered by the Lai Labode Heritage Foundation.

Its major aim is to unite African nations through fashion, culture and creative enterprise.

Speaking at the press briefing, Musawa noted that Nigeria is not only adopting Afroliganza but will also be the first country to sign the CAFA charter.

“We are transforming commitment into action through institutions, policies, and Programmes that translate vision into measurable outcomes.
