    Adire Teems Represents Nigeria at CANEX 2025 in Algeria

    Adire Teems, the Lagos based African fashion brand founded by Ebuka Ebuziem is representing Nigeria at the Creative Africa Nexus (CANEX) at the Intra-African Trade Fair (IATF) 2025 in Algiers, Algeria.

    CANEX (Creative Africa Nexus), organised under the broader Intra-African Trade Fair (IATF), has become one of the most important convenings for Africa’s creative industries. 

    With the theme “One People, United in Culture, Creating for the World,” CANEX 2025 promises to be the largest gathering of creatives from across Global Africa as it brought together leaders, businesses, governments, and investors to celebrate African talent, and build the networks and opportunities that will sustain its growth.

    For Adire Teems, this event is a chance to tell Nigeria’s story through fabric, and textile innovation. Known for merging traditional Adire dyeing techniques with contemporary design, the brand has carved out a space for itself as a bridge between heritage and modernity.

    “Adire is a living archive of our history, a creative language that speaks of our artistry, beauty, and identity,” says Ebuka Ebuziem, Founder of Adire Teems. “To showcase this on a global stage like CANEX is both a responsibility and an opportunity, one we are proud to carry on behalf of Nigeria.”

    CANEX at IATF 2025 is hosting business-to-business and business-to-government exchanges, exhibitions, and collaborative sessions designed to foster growth within Africa’s rapidly expanding creative economy from September 4 to 10th, 2025.

    For brands like Adire Teems, it is also a space to connect with other creators, explore cross-continental collaborations, and attract investors who believe in the power of culture as an economic driver.

    Adire Teems’ presence in Algeria highlights a broader narrative: Nigeria’s creative industries are export-ready. From fashion and film to music and visual arts, Nigerian creatives are shaping the global trends and platforms like CANEX are ensuring they have the stage to do so.

    As the world gathered in Algiers this September, Adire Teems is already standing as a cultural and business ambassador for Nigeria, weaving stories of culture, artistry and modern African creativity into the global conversation.

    COAS, Lt. Gen Oluyede Visits Ogoja, Reassures on Better Welfare for Troops

    The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Olufemi Oluyede, on Tuesday paid an operational visit to Godwin Ally Barracks, Ogoja, Cross River State, where he commended the resilience and dedication of officers and soldiers of 130 Battalion and 341 Artillery Regiment. 

    He praised their unwavering commitment to safeguarding the nation and assured them that the Nigerian Army under his leadership would continue to prioritise their welfare alongside operational effectiveness.

    The visit formed part of his assessment tour of formations and units under the 82 Division Area of Responsibility. On arrival, the COAS inspected key facilities, interacted directly with the troops, and expressed appreciation for the sacrifices they continue to make in the face of difficult security challenges.

    Oluyede, who has consistently underlined his belief in supporting soldiers’ families, disclosed that substantial resources were being invested in revamping schools within the barracks to ensure children and wards of personnel have access to first-class education. He also directed the immediate renovation of dilapidated accommodation blocks to provide better living standards for soldiers and their dependants.

    Reaffirming his “Soldiers First” mantra, the Army Chief stressed that his administration was committed to improving the living and working conditions of Nigerian Army personnel, while equipping them with the tools needed to tackle evolving security threats.

     He cited the recent increase in the Ration Cash Allowance, which has allowed commanders to provide better meals for their troops, as a measure that must be matched by renewed commitment and professionalism on the part of the soldiers.

    The COAS further announced ongoing efforts to provide every soldier with new uniforms and essential military kits to ensure seamless operational performance. These measures, he said, were part of deliberate steps to standardise readiness, reinforce esprit de corps, and raise morale across the ranks.

    Charging the troops to maintain the highest standards of discipline and professionalism, General Oluyede urged them to strengthen synergy with sister security agencies and engage positively with host communities. Such collaboration, he emphasised, was vital to consolidating peace and stability in Cross River and the wider region.

    The Ogoja visit, like others undertaken in recent weeks, highlights the dual focus of the Army Chief’s leadership — driving operational efficiency on the frontlines while also investing heavily in welfare initiatives for the rank and file.
