AB  - In this study, the researchers used resist dyeing
technique to create Northern Nigeria symbol as motif on
cotton fabrics and the fabrics were then cut and sown into
man and woman garments. Data were collected by
wearing man and woman dummies with the garments
while presenting them to the respondents. Also, in the
perspective of this study, efforts were raised to
synchronize thoughts from some selected students in
different geopolitical regions in Northern Nigeria about
batik design with cultural symbol of the people. The
results indicated that the creation of batik the designed
with cultural symbols can be used as medium of cultural
identification, promoting unity amongst the people of
cultural background. As a result, it can also be view from
a wider perspective that the production of the batik can
boost the economy of Nigeria based on the demonstration
of local interest thereby creating employment and
subsequent generation of wealth.
