Ghanaians rock Fugu in style
THE Fugu smock has gained acceptance in Ghana and other parts of the world. The outfit worn in multiple cultures is a popular choice for national events and cultural celebrations in Ghana.
The Minister of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, Madam Abla Dzifa Gomashie, has announced that every Wednesday be observed as Fugu day. This initiative was inspired by a photo of President John Dramani Mahama wearing a Fugu (traditional northern Ghanaian smock) during a state visit to Zambia.
Some Zambian social media users jokingly referred to the garment as ‘blouse’. Since then, individuals and corporate organisations have embraced the initiative, wearing the traditional outfit that symbolises strength, courage, and leadership.
