‘Not Payment For Services, But Appreciation’

‘Not Payment For Services, But Appreciation’

The Federal Government, on Thursday, made good on its promise to support the family of Taiwo Akinkunmi, the renowned designer of the Nigerian flag.

A cheque of N30 million was presented to the family in Ibadan, Oyo State, by Lanre Issa-Onilu, Director-General of the National Orientation Agency (NOA), and Olukemi Afolayan, State Director of the agency.

Akinkunmi, who designed the Nigerian flag, passed away on August 30, 2023, at the age of 87.

President Bola Tinubu had pledged to give him a national burial and financial support to his family during a condolence visit in September 2023.

Although the national burial did not materialize, the government has now fulfilled its promise of financial support.

According to Issa-Onilu, the donation was not intended as payment for Akinkunmi’s services, but rather as a gesture of appreciation for his contributions to the country.

“The donation of N30 million to the family of renowned national flag designer was not to pay for the services of the late legend but to support his family in appreciation of his contributions to the country,” he said.

The donation is a recognition of Taiwo Akinkunmi’s lasting legacy and his role in shaping Nigeria’s national identity.
