Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has received a unique, custom-made crocheted jacket from 23-year-old Irinsanmi Imisioluwa Eunice, a talented artist who gained attention after sharing her creation on Twitter
The eye-catching jacket, which features a bold crocheted portrait of the governor, quickly went viral after Eunice posted it online. The artwork drew admiration from netizens, prompting widespread engagement and praise for her skill and creativity.
Just a day later, Governor Sanwo-Olu shared photos of himself receiving the piece from Eunice, along with a heartfelt caption:
“Today, I received a thoughtful, handmade, custom crocheted jacket from 23-year-old Irinsanmi Imisioluwa Eunice.
It took her 168 hours, over 20,000 stitches, and six colours of yarn using just one crochet hook to bring it to life. But it’s her story that truly stayed with me.
Eunice learned to crochet back in primary school. At one point, she dreamed of becoming a doctor, but life took her in another direction. She studied Home Economics, and during COVID lockdown, she leaned deeply into her love for crafting.
I want every young creative in Lagos to know that your work matters. Your hands, your skills, your ideas, and your dreams are all part of what makes this state thrive.
Thank you, Eunice. I appreciate this gift, and I’ll wear it with pride.”
