\"\"Riding from the success of the just concluded Adire market week held in Abeokuta, Ogun state, which was proudly sponsored by Ecobank, the bank has decided to extend the promotion of culture and tradition to the Lagos community.<\/p>\n

The Adire festival themed \u2018EPAC Adire Lagos Experience\u2019 first-of-its kind by any bank in the country, will hold at the Ecobank Pan African Centre (EPAC) in Lagos from Friday, June 10 till Sunday, Jun 12, 2022.<\/p>\n

Originating from Abeokuta in South Western Nigeria, Adire textile is an indigo-dyed cloth made by using different wax resist methods to create dazzling designs.<\/p>\n

Announcing the EPAC Adire Experience, Carol Oyedeji, Executive Director, Commercial Banking, at Ecobank Nigeria, says the exhibition, is in line with the bank\u2019s policy to deliver value beyond banking, adding that it is one of the several initiatives to boost tourism, culture and the creative industry using Adire as a key driver.\u00a0 She stated that the 3-day exhibition will have different music genres of Yoruba origin; an infusion of local food; and mild atmospheric branding infusion of a wide variety of Adire into the setting to create a nostalgic mood. The festival will attract exhibitors, expatriates, influencers, dignitaries from all walks of life and members of the general public.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThe EPAC Adire Lagos Experience is in line with our brand promise as a Pan African Institution that delivers value to all it\u2019s stakeholders.
