General News of Monday, 25 March 2019Source: www.ghanaweb.comPeople & Places: We regret not naming a 'Fugu' after Rawlings - Smock Makers Associationplay videoSecretary of Smock Makers Association in the Northern Region, Mohammed Ali Abdul SomedSecretary of Smock Makers Association at Morshe market in the Northern Region, Mohammed Ali Abdul Somed has disclosed the regret of natives of the three Northern regions - the birthplace of the 'Fugu', for not naming one of the smocks after former President J.J. Rawlings. Samira Bawumia also came, started wearing a particular dress, so we named that after her,” he explained. He added that Rawlings marketed the 'Fugu' to the word during his tenure but because their maturity in the 'Fugu' business wasn’t fully hatched, they never took advantage of the opportunity he created for them, to commercialize production of the 'Fugu'. “Then, our maturity in selling our material was not up to that level, look at how he marketed the 'Fugu'. If we had named it after him, maybe Rawlings would have also taken it as a pain to market it the more,” he bemoaned.
