2025 Adire Cultural Festival In Abeokuta, Nigeria
Bola Obasanjo, wife of the former President of Nigeria, Sadiat Akamo, Iyaloja of Kemta Adire/Kampala Market, Itoku, and others dress in Adire attire during the grand finale of the 2025 edition of the Adire Cultural Festival held at Kemta, Itoku in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria, on January 25, 2025. The late Miniya Jojolola Soetan, the second Iyalode (Head of Women) of Egbaland, pioneers Adire/Kampala (tie and dye) fabrics production in the Kemta, Itoku area of Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria. The age-long handmade indigenous craft passes from generation to generation and appeals to many traders and tourists. The local producers appeal for government intervention due to the scarcity of raw materials, imitation of their design, and mass importation of fake Adire from China, which harms their businesses.
