Barely a year after his passing, the Akinkunmi family has announced the burial rites for their patriarch, Pa Michael Akinkunmi Taiwo (OFR), the designer of Nigeria’s national flag, Pa Akinkunmi, who died on August 29, 2023
In a statement released by his son, Akinwumi Akinkunmi, the family expressed their heartfelt gratitude to all those who supported them during their time of mourning.
“We thank the Federal Government for sending the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Hon Idris Mohammed, to pay condolence to the family when the incident happened,” the family said.
According to the statement, the burial programme has been scheduled to hold between Wednesday, September 4th, and Friday, 6th, 2024, assuring that a detailed burial arrangement would soon be communicated.
While stating that it was still hopeful of hearing from the Federal Government as regards its promises in respect of the burial, the family specifically requests that the Nigerian Flag be flown at half-mast to give the departed Pa Akinkunmi his last respects during the burial period.
“It would be much appreciated if the Nigerian Flag can be flown at half-mast to give Pa Michael Taiwo Akinkunmi this last respect,” the statement added.
