Despite the economy crisis affecting the most populous black nation in the world Nigeria, renowned writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has embarked on “ Project Wear Nigerian ” in order to help promote and support the Nigerian locally made brands and also to contribute to the country’s economy.

“The Nigerian government’s disastrous economic policies have led to a reduction in the value of the Naira and therefore in disposable income, a change in values, a disorientation of the middle class, and most of all, to a debilitating sense of uncertainty,” wrote Adichie in a Facebook status.

“If we are to grasp for a silver lining, then the ‘Buy Nigerian to Grow The Naira’ rhetoric is one. In that spirit, I recently decided to wear mostly Nigerian brands for my public appearances.”
