Gabriel Agambila, a respected opinion leader in the Ghanaian diaspora community in the USA, is championing a cultural initiative to promote traditional Ghanaian attire in schools and government institutions. Apexnewsgh reports
Mr. Agambila’s vision is to see students and government officials proudly donning Made-in-Ghana fabrics like Fugu, Kente, and Tie and Dye.
He proposes that all schools adopt these traditional fabrics as their official attire, fostering a sense of national identity and cultural pride among students. He further suggests that government institutions make it mandatory to wear these fabrics every Friday, dubbed “Traditional Friday.”
To take it a step further, Mr. Agambila advocates for parliamentarians to wear traditional Ghanaian attire at least twice a week during parliamentary sessions. This move aims to showcase Ghana’s rich cultural heritage and promote unity among lawmakers.
Mr. Agambila’s initiative is a call to action, encouraging Ghanaians to take pride in their cultural roots and showcase their unique identity to the world. By embracing traditional attire, Ghanaians can demonstrate their appreciation for the country’s history and heritage.
This initiative has the potential to boost Ghana’s textile industry, support local artisans, and preserve traditional craftsmanship. It’s a step towards cultural revitalization and a celebration of Ghanaian identity.
Mr. Gabriel Agambila’s initiative to promote traditional Ghanaian attire is gaining momentum. To ensure its success, he proposes stringent measures to encourage adherence.
Parliamentarians who fail to wear traditional fabrics like Fugu, Kente, or Tie and Dye on designated days will forfeit their daily sitting allowances. Similarly, government employees dressed in non-Ghanaian attire on Fridays will lose their daily wages.
To further boost this movement, he suggests that churches and mosques in the country dedicate the last Sunday of every month to showcase traditional fabrics. This showcase is not just about displaying vibrant colors and patterns but also about empowering the weaving industry, which has long been neglected by the state.
Mr. Agambila believes that, by embracing traditional attire, Ghanaians can inject life into the struggling weaving industry. “Thousands of students have been trained in vocational schools and informal settings, yet their skills remain underappreciated”. Agambila’s proposal aims to change this narrative.
After proposing that schools and government institutions adopt Made-in-Ghana fabrics like Fugu, Kente, and Tie and Dye as official attire, he’s now urging the next parliament to pass this initiative into law. This move aims to sustain the weaving industry, which has long been neglected by the state.
However, Mr. Gabriel Agambila further expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated members of ALAGUMGUBE INTERNATIONAL.
According to him, this newly inaugurated organization has already made waves, with representatives traveling across all 50 US states and Canada to spread its mission.
He praised the tireless efforts of these individuals, who took time from their busy schedules to embark on this ambitious journey. Their dedication has paved the way for a brighter future.
With a growing membership of over 200, Mr. Agambila announced plans for ALAGUMGUBE INTERNATIONAL’s first anniversary celebration.
He said, this momentous occasion promises to be massive, with representatives from Europe and other countries around the world joining in.
“The stage is set for a global reunion,” Mr. Agambila exclaimed. “We will unite, share our achievements, and forge new connections. Our first anniversary will be a testament to our collective strength and determination.”
As ALAGUMGUBE INTERNATIONAL continues to expand its reach, Mr. Agambila encouraged members to begin making preparations for this grand celebration. The event will not only commemorate the organization’s milestones but also chart a course for future growth and collaboration.
With its diverse membership and global ambitions, ALAGUMGUBE INTERNATIONAL is poised to make a lasting impact. Under Agambila’s leadership, this dynamic organization is writing a new chapter in the story of cultural exchange and cooperation.
