Ghanaians across the country mobilized en masse to wear the country's colorful traditional costume, the fugu, after the government designated Wednesday as "Fugu Day".
This initiative follows President John Dramani Mahama's official visit to Zambia last week, during which he wore this garment. Some mockingly referred to it as a "blouse," sparking a strong reaction from Ghanaians online.
Ghana's Tourism Minister, Abla Dzifa Gomashie, said on Tuesday that wearing this outfit every week would help project the country's identity "with pride on the international stage".
She encouraged the wearing of this outfit "in all its forms, patterns and varied expressions, complemented by its distinctive and magnificent accessories."
The fugu, also known as batakari, is a traditional garment from northern Ghana, made from narrow strips of thick cotton handwoven and sewn together to form a structured, poncho-like garment.
It is worn by traditional chiefs in northern Ghana, as well as by ordinary citizens, and symbolizes royalty and authority.
