Olatubosun revealed that the carnival will be organized in collaboration with Olori Aderonke Ademiluyi, the Founder of Adire Odua and Bizrait Exhibitions.

A stakeholder, Mr Ola Ore, pledged to deliver a world-class carnival that will not only celebrate the artistry of Adire but also drive economic empowerment.
