Family of Nigerian Flag Designer, Taiwo Akinkunmi, proceeds with burial after one-year wait for state funeral
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.
Despite assurances from the Federal Government, Akinkunmi’s family revealed they were compelled to proceed with the burial as they could no longer afford the daily N2,000 morgue fee required to keep his body.
The Oyo State Government ultimately provided the necessary funds for the burial, stepping in to support the family in honouring the late national icon.
