Sanwo-Olu Receives Custom Crochet Artwork From 23-Year-Old Twitter User

Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has received a custom-made crocheted jacket from 23-year-old Irinsanmi Imisioluwa Eunice, a young artisan whose work first gained attention after she posted the jacket on Twitter.
The jacket, which features a bold crochet rendering of the governor’s face, quickly went viral, attracting reactions from many netizens impressed by the craftsmanship and creativity. Just a day later, Sanwo-Olu met with Eunice and shared photos of their meeting on social media.

In his post, the governor wrote:
“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.”
The moment not only highlighted Eunice’s talent and determination but also underscored Sanwo-Olu’s continued support for Lagos’s creative community.

Her story—from picking up crochet as a child to making a viral artwork—serves as an inspiring reminder of the power of creativity and resilience.
