It is a great privilege to be leading this great country on a unity tour once again, says the Convener of Flagtour Project, Larry Dew. The brilliant strategist, who has undiluted passion for Nigeria and Unity started an uncommon trend of using the Nigerian National Flag to stir patriotism in 2010, a project called Flagtour with its popular patriotism provocative majear ‘Stir Paatriotism’.
The trial project was launched on 7th December, 2012, a project he tagged soloflagtour which saw a single Nigerian National Flag travel to 9 States in Nigeria and 3 other Countries.

I am ready to take the Nigerian Flag to all the States in Nigeria, and this time around, I will be driving. This is a declaration statement from Larry Dew, the convener and brand strategist of Flagtour Project this morning. On September 20th, 2015, I will begin the journey. The official press conference date will be announced soon, he added.
The journey so far in planning Flagtour has been a great pleasure to innovate something unique for the Country. Something all Nigerians should be proud of.
The current Flagtour Project is called ’74 Days RoadTrip’. This tour is a special tour, what he has considered as one of the most challenging tour of his career. Larry Dew takes pleasure in developing patriotism projects as well as spear heading them. Some of the previous tours includes taking a single Nigerian National flag to 3 Countries outside Nigeria which include United States, United kingdom and South Africa in 2012/2013. Also, in the period, he took the same Flag to 9 States, the Project he called ‘Solo Flagtour’. He said, the initial tours were preparation phase to develop, analyze risks and also to measure logistics and plan for the future projects (events).

74Days Roadtrip will be a tour that will feature Larry Dew, driving a car with a Single National flag to all the States in Nigeria including the FCT. He will be driving on a day interval. A day will be for the journey, while a day will be for activities within the State which he travels to, making it an approximate of 2 days per state. The activities of the trip include visits to orphanage homes, parks, schools, religious homes, work places etc with the aim of turning the touring flag to a valuable asset that every Nigerian will desire to touch. One of the aims of the project is also to attract both national and international image enhancement pride to the national flag - An act of Patriotism. The flag that he has considered to be one of the most valuable Flags in the World. The special flag will be hoisted in every State it touches in places where an erected flag pole can be found. Images and videos will be made available on the social media pages and official website of the tour (www.tour.flagtourng.com).

This promises to be one of the most innovative event of this generation and it talks about only one thing, “Unity and Patriotism”
The first Man to touch the touring flag was Pa Taiwo Akinkunmi, the designer of the Nigerian National Flag, on 7th December, 2012; followed by the DG of National Orientation Agency, on September 16, 2013 when the project was launched officially at ThisDay Dome in Abuja.
The tour has been designed in such a way that the traveler and volunteers can take part of the project through the new website created for the new tour projects by Flagtour. The website which is now official can be accessed through www.tour.flagtourng.com.
The fun part now includes access to the Previous Location, Present Location and Next Location where the tour will be happening.

Anyone can signify where he/she wishes to join the tour, from any State and also decides to leave the tour whenever they wish to stop.

The official Map for the tour is set to be released sometime in August, 2015. The official tour website also has the function of a calendar for all the events that will be happening, the date and time.

There is still need for volunteers in managing some of the social activities of the project and the portal will be made open for anyone to start registering their interest as soon as they wish before the portal is closed. There will be online meetings to brief selected volunteers for the trip and those who wish to support the tour.
