According
to Ronke Ademiluyi, the founder of AFW London, organisers of AFW Nigeria, ‘AFW Nigeria
believes in emerging talents and our core aim is providing visibility platforms
for new talents, who would otherwise not have the means to gather national
attention and awareness of their own.’ She states further that ‘she believes for creativity to grow there needs to be a platform that
celebrates supports and contributes to its growth. We want Nigerian designers
to take advantage of this opportunity and register’
Designers who believe their works have what it takes to compete in
