An activist wants Ghana's government to create a national holiday celebrating traditional clothing in memory of former First Lady Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings. Amos Amanu told Swiss FM on Friday, Oct. 24, 2025, that Ghana Kaba Day would honor the late leader's commitment to local dress customs and encourage citizens to wear indigenous styles.
Amanu said Nana Konadu showed respect for Ghanaian heritage through her choice of kaba and slit garments that combined modesty with confidence. The educator asked young women to follow her example rather than adopt foreign fashion trends that conflict with national values. He wants schools and cultural groups to back the proposal.
Entrepreneur Elikem Tsorme agreed that the holiday needs legal protection for Ghanaian traditions against outside influences. Both speakers praised Nana Konadu's work with the 31st December Movement and asked officials to restart the program. They said reviving the initiative would support the 24-hour economy plan while strengthening women's progress and cultural identity.
