The Director General of National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC), Otunba Segun Runsewe, has commended Osun State Governor, Gboyega Oyetola, for the reawakening of cultural fashion in the state, saying he deserves national accolades.
Governor Oyetola has made it compulsory for all public and civil servants to wear the Osun State variant of local Adire fabric known as “Adire Eleko” to work on August 27, as a way of reviving the dying cultural fashion of the people noted for their artistic and cultural tourism endowments.
Otunba Runsewe who is also the President, Africa region of the World Craft Council (WCC), stated that the declaration of August 27 as Adire Osun Day by Governor Oyetola, resonates with the vision and aspirations of the federal government to grow and focus on indigenous cultural tourism engagements, adding that time has come for Nigerians to embrace our indigenous and traditional “wear, eat and speak” ways of life.
