As part of efforts aimed at improving the nation’s arts and cultural heritage, Nike Arts is set to commission a new gallery in Abuja. Addressing journalists in Lagos, last week, Chief Nike Okundaye’s husband, Chief Reuben Okundaye, said the gallery would be open on March 28, 2023, at 10.00am.
Okundaye said the Abuja Gallery is going to be massive and one of the best in the country, adding, a lot of dignitaries will grace the event. He said art provides therapeutic value, decorative value and it is also good for investment purposes.
“That edifice has been completed, it is a massive art gallery facing the Defence College. I celebrate my wife whenever she achieves something big, because whenever Nike decides to do something, she does it well,” he stated. While stressing the need to support female artists, Nike said she uses artist with richly detailed and arresting batik images to chronicle her society’s contradictory views towards women.
