An Industrial Attachment student at the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), Ogun State radio station, FUNAAB Radio 89.5FM, has been given an opportunity to co-present a radio programme before completing her training, as she called on youths to dress decently. The student, Mrs. Rebecca Nkonduok, a postgraduate student of the Department of Communication and General Studies of FUNAAB, featured in one of the station’s programmes, Feminine World, alongside the Producer of the programme, Ms. Chienye Egwuonwu. While discussing women and fashion, the intern described fashion as the way people define and present themselves to the public in a decent and presentable manner. She said fashion was the way people introduce themselves to others without saying a word, adding that fashion can tell the whole world about people’s personality by their mode of dressings.
“It is a way to express yourself, it provides you with a creative outlet and how you can constantly change and improve on your fashion sense,” she maintained. Mrs. Nkonduok emphasised that, fashion does not necessarily mean to buy expensive clothes, or to spend so much money on clothing and accessories, noting that the main purpose of fashion is to decorate oneself in a particular way that helps to bring out one’s identity. “We don’t need to buy expensive clothes or wear designers to look fashionable, but with the little we can afford to buy, let’s dress and make our dressings neat and wear them confidently to improve the kind of personality we have for the world,” she said. She urged women to check, and respect balancing their mode of dressings, stressing that the strength of a woman lies in the confidence she exudes by her dressing.
