The family of Pa Taiwo Akinkunmi, the designer of Nigeria’s national flag, has laid him to rest after waiting for over a year for a promised state funeral that never materialized.

The Oyo State Government ultimately provided the necessary funds for the burial, stepping in to support the family in honouring the late national icon.
