The Nigerian fashion scene is diverse, and slowly developing compared to other parts of the world. The fashion industry is a viable subset of the manufacturing sector that should be supported to harness its full potentials in driving the economy forward. In driving the fashion industry forward, a 1-billion-naira Fashion Fund aimed at supporting the fashion value chain, including but not limited to garments, shoes, handbags, and others was created. It’s a privilege to be an ambassador of the BoI fashion fund and I would recommend it to any designer out there hoping to grow their brand,” she added. The Fashion Fund is an initiative of the Bank of Industry, developed to empower young, talented and passionate Nigerian fashion designers, to grow and expand their businesses.
