A new fashion-tech initiative, Kukuruku Republic, has set to launch in Abuja on August 31, offering what its founders describe as a fusion of digital storytelling and cultural preservation through wearable design.

Each garment in the collection is embedded with QR codes that unlock curated content—ranging from African history and mythology to art, food, and music—effectively transforming clothing into interactive storytelling devices.

Founded by Collins Osagie Omokaro, Kukuruku Republic positions itself at the intersection of heritage and innovation, aiming to reconnect younger, tech-driven audiences with traditional African narratives.

In a pre-launch statement, Omokaro said, “We are using fashion as a vessel to tell our stories in a way that resonates with today’s generation. It’s about connecting identity with innovation—ensuring our culture is not just preserved, but experienced.”

The official launch will feature a runway presentation, musical and cultural performances, and the unveiling of the Kukuruku Republic Experience Store, a flagship venue designed for both retail and immersive engagement with African culture through fashion.

Beyond the product, the initiative is also expected to announce a community-focused component—supporting local artisans, promoting sustainable practices, and offering youth programs in fashion, cultural media, and tech.

Yet, while Kukuruku Republic’s concept has generated early buzz for its novelty, some observers remain cautious. The use of digital tech in Nigerian fashion is still relatively new, and questions remain about scalability, market adoption, and commercial sustainability.

According Omokaro, the initiative is designed to appeal to younger, tech-savvy audiences increasingly interested in cultural identity and creative expression.

As of now, details around pricing and product rollout remain under wraps. Still, the Abuja launch is expected to draw attention from across Nigeria’s cultural, creative, and tech sectors—signaling what could be a bold step in reimagining how African stories are worn, seen, and shared.
