 National flag’s designer Taiwo Akinkunmi will be given befitting burial, says NICO


The management of the National Institute for Cultural Orientation (NICO) has asserted that the designer of Nigeria’s national flag, late Pa Michael Taiwo Akinkunmi would be given a befitting burial.

Akinwunmi who designed the Nigerian flag died 10 months ago.

NICO’s decision, according to a statement followed the cry of the family.

There is a trending news on social media platforms over the seeming neglect of the burial arrangement of the late national hero.

The statement which was signed by Caleb Nor, media aide to NICO Executive Secretary, Biodun Ajiboye, said it was not possible for President Bola Tinubu to abandon the national hero.

The statement reads: “As a caring government under the listening leadership of His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and in line with what seems contradictory to our culture, the Institute has stepped in with a sincere interest to uphold our culture and obliterate actions considered inappropriate to our cultural norms.

“Executive Secretary/CEO of NICO, Otunba Biodun Ajiboye said the decision was informed by the need to uphold our age-long respect for the dead as well as honour to a past hero that has contributed significantly to the making of Nigeria.

“It is a prominent part of our culture as a people not to neglect our heroes. Characteristically, our culture does not ignore this kind of cry. To which extent, the cry of the family of late Pa Michael Taiwo Akinkunmi, the man who designed the Nigerian flag has come to the attention of the federal government and NICO has compassionately, considered taking up a major role and responsibility in coordinating and collaborating with other agencies that may be necessary in giving a befitting burial to this our fallen hero.

“As we know, the flag remains one of the greatest tangible heritages of this country, and NICO has the mandate to promote both tangible and intangible cultural heritage.

“The Honourable Minister of Art, Culture and the Creative Economy, Barr. Hannatu Musa Musawa is deeply concerned about this situation and has directed NICO to wade into this situation immediately and as such, we are making contacts with the family so as to get the details of how the federal government can come in to assist the family to give a befitting burial to Pa Akinkunmi”, Ajiboye added.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
