Journal Title: International Review of Humanities Studies - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The quest for national development is of different perspectives, depending on the educational orientation, ideology and concept of the writer. This paper attempts to examine the role textiles play in our national development. The development of other professional areas such as medicine, law, surveying, pharmacy and technology without art, which textile is a part, is like building a house on a muddy ground. There is no society without art and culture. The thrust of this paper is the role of textile in national development as evident in cultural, economic, social and industrial developments. The paper analyzes the role textile plays in the individual lifestyle and mode of dressing, community development in regards to their festivals, social political activities, marriages, burials, and national development. The Federal Government has a boost of it by organization of art exhibitions, trade fairs and selling of art works to tourists and travellers for exportation in which, most of our Nigerian hand-made textile goods are sold for hard currency and promotes national income.
