Mr Tony Okoroji, Chairman, Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON) has said that the fashion industry if properly developed, will attract more youths, thereby reducing the high rate of unemployment.
.
Okoroji said on Wednesday in Abuja that the Nigerian fashion was largely practiced on small scale which stalled its growth and discouraged youth participation.
.
"Fashion in Nigeria is practiced on a small scale because individuals invest the little money they have to make clothes and sell.
.
"The industry needs funding to enable better productivity which will also attract local and international investments,'' he said.
.
According to the chairman, the industry is being faced by issues of statistics and building appropriate models.
