Governor Soludo
Anambra Governor Chukwuma Soludo has stated that his daughter Adaora makes all the local ‘Akwete’ fabrics he wear.
He spoke at the weekend at the International Convention Centre (ICC) in Awka during the Anambra Fashion Expo, 2022 organised by her daughter to promote locally made fabrics.
The 12,000 capacity ICC was designed and built by the immediate Governor Chief Willie Obiano.
The former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor described made-in-Nigeria products as job creator and economy catalysts.
The Governor said all the local fabrics he put on, especially, the Akwete, were usually designed and sewn by his daughter as well as shoes made in Ogbunike.
According to Soludo, “Our primary job is to promote anything made in Anambra. When my daughter was 12 years old, she insisted that we must buy her a sewing machine.
“We did. Little did we know that she will end up being a fashion person; notwithstanding her degrees.” (The Nation)
