Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, yesterday, said Federal Government was proud of the legacy of the late Pa Taiwo Akinkunmi towards Nigeria’s unity. THE GUARDIAN reports.
“We are here, today, on behalf of the President to condole with the family of this very iconic individual, Pa Akinkunmi. We are aware that he is an individual who designed one of the most powerful symbols of our national existence, sovereignty, and our independence.”informationguidenigeria
The minister said Akinkunmi’s legacy rests on creation of the national flag, which he described as a symbol of unity and independence that has endured through the decades; “a symbol we are yet to find replacement for and that we hope will continue to remain a rallying point for all Nigerians wherever they may be.”
He said President Tinubu, recognising the global impact of Akinkunmi’s passing, directed the Federal Government’s delegation to convey Nigeria’s collective grief and gratitude to the family.
“Perhaps, when he was designing the national flag, he did not know how powerful it would be as a symbol of peace and unity, that all of us pray for in this country.” He said Akinkunmi’s legacy finds resonance in President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda for national rebirth and reorientation.JAMB Result
