Talking about Africa Textile,

The president also added that, just like other continents, African’s textile industry has a historic significance that can sell, but the industry has generally failed to capitalize on that.

“We should always start by telling our stories, which are always interesting no matter how you see it

“There have been several factors that have been causing decline to the textile sector and what we want to do is find a way to solve them with globally accepted solutions” he continues.

“Africa can regain its lost glory, if we can rekindle our abilities and potentials…… and what GCCI want to do in the textile industry is to scale it up with the other sub-sectors like fashion, leather, wool, and cotton.

“We are presently working on the venue for the event as the date is already confirmed", adding that their full plan has just one goal, which is to redefine textile and make it a global brand.

 

“Despite having a tight calendar already, we have spotted this sector as one that needed genuine intervention” he concluded
