N30m Donation by FG: Tribute to Late Nigerian Flag Designer Taiwo Akinkunmi
The Federal Government has donated ₦30 million to the family of the late Pa Taiwo Akinkunmi, the designer of Nigeria’s national flag. This gesture was made nearly two years after his passing on August 29, 2023, at the age of 87.
The Director General of the National Orientation Agency (NOA), Lanre Issa-Onilu, presented the cheque at Akinkunmi’s residence in Ibadan, Oyo State. Issa-Onilu emphasized that the donation was not a payment for Akinkunmi’s services but a token of appreciation for his significant contributions to the nation.
One of Akinkunmi’s sons, Samuel Akinkunmi, expressed gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for the support.
