President Bola Tinubu has directed that the national flag must be flown half-mast.

This is due to the death of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Taoreed Abiodun Lagbaja, who died after a brief illness.

In a statement signed on his behalf by Mr Segun Imohiosen, Director, Information and Public Relations Office of SGF (OSGF) Secretary to the of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, said the president gave the directive on Wednesday.

Daily Trust reports that the presidency early Wednesday announced the death of Lagbaja.

“The President has directed that National Flags be flown at half-mast throughout the country for seven days in honour of the departed Army Chief,” Akume said.

He said that President Tinubu appreciated the services of the departed to the nation and wished the family the fortitude to bear the great loss.

For what?
What did he contribute to Nigeria?

You can hoist Oduduwa republic flag at half or low mast if you want but average Nigerians do not feel the impact of his life/death in anyway.

I don't know if he had any positive impact on Nigerians, but all the same, may he rest in peace. May God judge him according to the intentions he had toward ordinary Nigerians.

The Question should be..
1. Do we have Flags across Nigeria?
2. And if we have, how many are they?

The last place I saw a Nigerian flag in Nigeria was in a Federal Medical Center. I learnt that flag was put up by a Corp member and it was already frail looking and torn.

His decision to honor the late Chief of Army Staff with the flag at half-mast shows the kind of leader he is.
