The government has launched a new cultural initiative that encourages Ghanaians and their international friends to set out Wednesdays to wear fugu, also known as batakari.
On behalf of the government, Abla Dzifa Gomashie, Minister of Tourism, Culture, and Creative Arts, signed a statement that included the directive.
The statement claims that the action is a component of larger initiatives to preserve and advance Ghana’s rich cultural legacy while encouraging pride in indigenous identity.
The Ministry encouraged the public to wear Fugu “in all its diverse forms, designs, and expressions, complemented by its distinctive and beautiful accessories,” and urged citizens to embrace the clothing in all of its styles and manifestations.
According to Madam Gomashie, the effort speaks directly to Ghana’s national image and values and transcends fashion.
