Mudi Africa marking its 25th Anniversary as a major Fashion Brand and also celebrating the 50th birthdady of its iconic Creative Director, Mudi decided to among st others renovate the very popular Post office Junction Round About in Ughelli Headquarters of Ughelli North Local Government, Delta State..
The exquisite structure which features three bronzed sculptures depicting the Urhobo culture in all its glory was today unveiled by an elated Delta State Governor, His Excellency, Senator(Dr) Ifeanyi Okowa. other prominent Personalities who graced the occasion include his wife and Firts Lady, Mrs Okowa, The Ovie of Ughelli Kingdom -His Royal Majesty Oharisi 111, Olorogu. Oscar Ibru, Dr Steve Oru former Honorable Minister for Niger Delta Affairs amongst others.
his Excellency in a brief Remark, stated his undiluted joy in the fact that Mudiaga Enajemo (Mudi) chose to give back to his community in such a beautiful way. He talked about the beauty of the structure and the positive impact of same on its immediate environment and the state at large. He concluded his remarks by calling on all Sons and Daughters of the State who remain successful in their different areas of life to emulate Mudi in bringing back development and support to the state.. He thanked Mudi and assured the people of the State of his Government’s continued eagerness to partner the private sector in its continued push for infrastructural development of the State.
Mudi who was accompanied by close friend Joseph Edgar Investment Banker, Prominent Columnist and Theater Producer and Ace Photographer Joshua Omonemu in his own submission, thanked His Excellency and other Prominent Sons and Daughters of Ughelli North especially His Royal Highness, the Ovie of Ughelli for taking time out to be physically present at the grand opening and unveiling of the structure. He talked about the structure representing a part of Mudi Africa’s Corporate Social responsibility targeted at infrastructural development, job creation and youth empowerment. this Project according to him created job opportunities for the youths of the area while also easing the flow of traffic in the very popular Traffic intersection. it also beautifies the skyline and environment. he called on other right thinking Sons and daughters of Delta State and indeed Nigeria to look inwards in their social responsibility believing that we all cannot leave it to Government.
the structure reflects very candidly the mindset of Mudi as a front line art curator as it embodies the deep reflection of an artistic mind, pulling together his culture, environment and artistic mien. This enviable disposition and keen eye for details which has made Mudi’s clothing line quite popular could be easily gleaned by the keen observer with a cursory look at his corporate offices and abode in Lagos in designing and situating these landmark structure.
