One of the Nigeria’s top fashion designers and entrepreneur, Oluwaseyi Adekunle, popularly known as Seyi Vodi, has been conferred with the National Honour of Officer of the Order of the Nigeria, (OON).
Vodi was included in the names of awardees announced in a list made by the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Special Duties and Inter-governmental Affairs, Ibiene Roberts, while the date of the formal investiture will be announced.
In a statement released by his office, Vodi said he felt humbled by the fact that he was considered for such a very high National Honour.
He added that the greater surprise was that the fashion industry which he belongs to was getting the kind of recognition it deserved through him being giving an honour of OON.
“I am so humbled by this honour by my country. It is the highest anyone could ask for from his own fatherland. I am also humbled by the fact that my industry, fashion, is also being recognized.
“A recognition that came in appreciation of our little contributions to the society,” he said in the statement.
