Similarly, government employees who do not wear these fabrics on Fridays would lose their day\u2019s wages.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Agambila also calls on churches and mosques across the country to dedicate the last Sunday of each month to showcasing these traditional fabrics, with pastors and imams leading by example. This initiative, he argues, will reinvigorate the country\u2019s weaving industry, which has seen little support despite substantial investments in training and vocational education.<\/p>\n<p>In a related appeal, Mr. Agambila urges security personnel involved in the fight against illegal mining (galamsey) to stop burning seized equipment. Instead, he suggests redistributing the equipment to deprived districts for use in improving rural and feeder roads, which are currently in a dangerous state of disrepair.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Agambila also took the opportunity to express his gratitude to the members of the newly inaugurated Alagumgube International, who have travelled across all 50 states in the U.S. and Canada. With a membership exceeding 200, he encouraged them to start planning for the organization\u2019s first anniversary, which is expected to be a grand celebration, particularly with the anticipated inclusion of members from Europe and other countries worldwide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Opinion leader, Gabriel Agambila Gabriel Agambila, a prominent opinion leader in the Ghanaian diaspora in the USA, is appealing to the government and public institutions to promote the use of locally-made fabrics such as Fugu, Kente, and Tie-and-Dye.
