President Bola Tinubu has said that the late designer of the Nigerian flag, Taiwo Akinkunmi, left a generational legacy.

The President condoled with the family of the patriot who passed on at the age of 87.

Akinkunmi designed the national flag in 1958.

In a statement by his spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, the President said the late Akinkunmi “dedicated his life to the service of the nation, sharing knowledge and experience with old and young, and inspiring many to think and act patriotically”.
