Renowned textile designer, Nike Okundaye, has initiated an annual award for players in the arts sector. LAST December, batik and textile designer, Nike Okundaye, held an awards night to appreciate committed artists and art patrons in Lagos. The initiative, a joint effort between the art entrepreneur and her husband, Chief Reuben Okundaye, was tagged Connecting Lagos. That evening of December 22 at their imposing Nike Art Centre, Lekki, the couple honoured a number of patrons and artists at the well-organised ceremony. We have over 25,000 pieces of art works here already and we hope that this initiative will help to create jobs.”
