I didn’t know the story of the image at the back of our N20 note until I stumbled on this and I must say that I’m very impressed by Madam Ladi Kwali and her exploits. Nigeria is blessed with great minds!
She is Nigeria’s best known potter who was awarded a Doctorate and was made MBE in 1963 for the level of detail and skill she utilized while making her pots.
Ladi Dosei Kwali (1925-1983) popularly known as Dr Ladi Kwali was born in 1925 in Kwali town in the present Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Nigeria. I join other well meaning Nigerians to celebrate this great woman!
