The Wife of the Nigerian President, Senator Oluremi Tinubu has unveiled the #OneNigeria/UnityFabric, which she described as a symbol of national unity.
The fabric was designed by 25-year-old Miss Mofinyinfoluwa Bamidele.
Bamidele, who went home with a cash prize of N25 million, emerged the winner of a fabric designs competition, organised by the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI), chaired by First Lady Tinubu.
Her entry was picked as a winner from 111 entries.
The First Lady, in her keynote address at the unveiling of the #OneNigeria/UnityFabric and announcement of the winner of the competition, which was held on Monday at the State House Conference Centre, Abuja, explained that the concept of a national fabric was inspired by her visit to Zimbabwe in December 2023, where she saw a similar initiative.
The event was witnessed by dignitaries from across the country, including wives of governors, wives of the leaders of the National Assembly, and wives of security chiefs.
Senator Tinubu said the #OneNigeria/UnityFabric Competition was launched in February 2024, calling on youths aged 15-25 to create a design that would represent Nigeria’s unity.
She praised the rigorous selection process and thanked the judges and members of the Governing Board of the Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI) for their efforts.
She also disclosed that the new national fabric would be worn across the country to celebrate the Independence Day Anniversary on October 1, 2024.
Also speaking at the event, National Vice Chairman of the RHI and Wife of the Vice President, Hajia Nana Shettima, said the fabric initiative is aimed at promoting unity and creativity in Nigeria.
Others who were at the event were former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Dimeji Bankole; former First Ladies, including Mrs. Ajoke Muritala Muhammad; Justice Fati Lami Abubakar; and Dame Patience Jonathan.
