The Federal Government has been urged to revive moribund textile industries in the country to create jobs and promote indigenous fabrics.
Head, Human Capital Development of Amrosh Communications, Abiola Hammed, made the appeal in Ilorin on Wednesday at a press conference.
The press conference was held as part of a fashion show being organised by the Amrosh Communications.
He said that the gradual extinction of indigenous attires and cultural values was as a result of moribund textile industries.
"Federal Government, should as a matter of urgency, resuscitate all moribund textile industries in order to create jobs, encourage patronage of indigenous fabrics and eradicate indecent dressing among youth," he said.
Hammed also suggested the institutionalisation of local dress code, advising the political leaders to take the lead.
The theme of the show is:" Redefining Fashion, Social Vibes and Promoting the Culture Business Association in Kwara".
He said that the show would be used to harness the tourism potential of the state.
