Themed ‘Promoting African heritage: our pride, our passion’ the event saw 421 students showcasing not only a fulfilled academic requirement but also served as a platform to ignite creativity and innovation among students.
With a focus on encouraging budding designers to carve a niche for themselves, the event resonated with the spirit of originality.
