Nigeria's First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has donated N2 billion to the Abia State Government to support the development and promotion of Akwete fabric, the prestigious hand-woven textile indigenous to Akwete town in Abia State.
The intervention is expected to strengthen the local textile industry, preserve the cultural heritage of Akwete weaving, and create more economic opportunities for artisans and communities involved in the production of the traditional fabric.
Renowned for its intricate designs and craftsmanship, Akwete fabric is one of Nigeria's most celebrated indigenous textiles and has long been regarded as a symbol of the country's rich cultural heritage.
The donation underscores ongoing efforts to promote indigenous industries, preserve traditional craftsmanship, and stimulate economic growth through cultural and creative enterprises.
