WE ARE THE INSTITUTIONAL BACKBONE OF NIGERIA'S FASHION INDUSTRY

About Us

The Nigerian Fashion Council is a Federal Government mandated Sector Skill Council, inaugurated on the 4th of March 2025 by the Federal Ministry of Education through the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE). We exist to coalesce industry leaders, policymakers, designers, craftsmen, manufacturers, innovators, and fashion-focused associations around a singular ambition, strengthening our entire value chain and positioning every aspect for excellent impact.

Our Vision

Shaping a fashion industry that is resilient, sovereign, and contributes effectively to the global fashion value chain.

Our Mission

Building the people, systems, and infrastructure at the heart of the sector; facilitating innovation across the entire ecosystem; and protecting the core human, cultural, and economic assets of our industry.

Three pillars. One industry transformed.

The Nigerian Fashion Council operates through three strategic pillars: Build, Innovate, and Protect, a framework through which we transform the industry into one capable of excelling greatly. Each pillar represents a distinct area of strategic focus. Together, they create the conditions for sustainable growth, global positioning, and long-term value creation.
