The Nigerian flag, designed by Michael Taiwo Akinkunmi, was officially adopted at midnight on October 1, 1960, signifying the nation’s independence. Akinkunmi’s design emerged victorious from a nationwide open contest organized by the government, where over three thousand entries were submitted. The flag features a vertical bicolour design of green and white. The green symbolizes agriculture, while the white represents peace and unity.

In a ceremonial event, Lieutenant David Ejoor of the Army Guard hoisted the flag for the first time.
