Its being 17 years since the launch of the National Friday Wear Program. The program sorts to collaborate with the public and private sector to inculcate the habit of wearing locally designed garments produced from locally manufactured fabrics.
Hon. Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen the Minister of Trade, Industry, and PSI of the erstwhile President J. A Kufuor’s administration initiated this program to promote made-in-Ghana goods.
This program has achieved the purpose for which it was created for, and it is evidently clear with how the textiles and garment industry has bloomed over the years after launch.
It’s with this spirit, that QUEENS is honoring Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen for this innovative and transformative idea, and therefore has declared the month of November as *African Wear Month* to celebrate Hon. Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen.
QUEENS is a lady’s voluntary group that is at the forefront of canvassing and mobilizing grassroots support for Hon Alan Kwadwo Kyerematen.
