MUDI, short for Mudiaga, is an award-winning Nigerian fashion brand with branches in Kenya, South Africa, Ghana, and Senegal.[3][4][5][6][7] The brand was launched in 1993 by Mudiaga Clement Enajemo. Enajemo was the first Nigerian designer to take his products abroad by opening stores in other countries.[8][9][10][11][12][13]
