FG Clears the Air on Rumours of Adire Replacing NYSC Uniform
The Federal Government of Nigeria has reacted to rumours claiming it has approved Adire as the new fabric for the NYSC uniform.
It can be recalled that the Federal Government recently announced plans to review the NYSC uniform, which sparked speculation online that Adire had already been selected as its replacement.
However, the government has clarified that no final decision has been made regarding the new uniform.

It was not an announcement that any particular fabric has been adopted or approved to replace the current NYSC uniform.”
