Why We Direct Oyo Civil Servants to Wear Native Attires, Aso - Oke on Thursdays - Oyo HOS

 


The Oyo State Head of Service, Mrs Olubunmi Oni, mni has said that the present administration in the State approved the wearing of the Aso oke  native attires to boost local economy through fabrics and promote Yoruba culture  and tradition in the State. 


In a statement issued and signed in Ibadan, the Oyo State Capital, the Head of Service  stated that wearing of Aso oke native attires  would surely expand the sales of the local fabrics industry adding that, it would be a useful avenue to promote the Yoruba culture.


She pointed out that civil servants would have the  opportunities to wear it at different times rather than just keeping it at home after ceremonies. 


She hinted that the present administration in the State under the leadership of Engr. Seyi Makinde, FNSE  approved the wearing of the Aso-Oke and other traditional attires on Thursdays for all Civil/Public Servants to enhance the economy of the local fabric industries either through weaving, selling or sewing it.


She said. "As people are wearing it, the manufacturers would produce more and it would boost the economy of those that are trading in it or sewing it and even tying the gele in the State". The statement said.


The Head of Service said Governor Seyi Makinde believes so much in the welfare of the masses, hinting that, the Governor is running a people focused government and this was why he is focusing on the aso oke traders in this instance.


She enjoined Civil/Public Servants across the State to wear the native in a moderate manner, noting that, not as if they are going to  social gatherings,  saying that the purpose of wearing it, is to promote the culture and economy of the local manufacturers and boost tourism sector of the State.


Mrs Olubunmi Oni then directed the Heads of Ministries, Departments and Agencies in the State to ensure strict compliance of the development among the Civil/Public Servants across the State.
