This year has been quite tough on your industry. As a key player within, what’s you take on the state of the industry right now? We are hugely talented in Nigeria and I strongly believe more is yet to come from us. I believe it is more of Nigerians being tenacious and harnessing our talent properly and the world will come to us. The artistry amongst our entrepreneurs, especially women, is highly commendable and world class. Also, we are very vast in culture and highly travelled people with a natural flair for high fashion.Don’t give up; it’s never easy, I won’t deceive you.
