Nigeria is betting on its fast-growing creative economy to cement its status as a continental hub for fashion.
The Federal Ministry of Art, Culture, Tourism, and the Creative Economy, in partnership with The Fashion Academy Abuja, announced the launch of a national training program for designers, tailors and creative entrepreneurs.
According to the ministry, the training will cover two major areas: Pattern Making & Professional Sewing Techniques and Fashion Business & Branding. Organizers say the curriculum is designed not only to sharpen creative talent but also to prepare participants for the demands of a globalized industry.
