Ghana encourages wearing "Fugu" every Wednesday to promote cultural heritage

The Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts has announced a nationwide initiative encouraging the wearing of Fugu, also known as Batakari, every Wednesday as part of efforts to preserve and promote Ghana’s cultural heritage.

This initiative is intended to deepen national cultural awareness, affirm our identity, and project Ghana's heritage with pride to the world.

Beyond its cultural significance, the initiative is expected to generate far-reaching social and economic benefits, including empowering local weavers, designers, artisans, and traders across the value chain, as well as expanding business, employment, and commercial opportunities nationwide.

The statement issued by Abla Dzifa Gomashie, Member of Parliament (MP), revealed that the government hopes this collective embrace of Fugu will strengthen national unity, stimulate the creative economy, and serve as a powerful symbol of Ghana's cultural confidence and self-expression.
