Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari, has ordered that the national flag be flown at half-mast, after the death of former Head of the Interim Government, Chief Ernest Adegunle Shonekan.
The order was announced by Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha.
The order which is effective from Wednesday 12th till Friday 14th January was given by Buhari, as a mark of respect for the former Head of Interim Government who died recently at the age of 85.
Shonekan took over from Babangida on August 26, 1993, but his government was overthrown by the late General Sani Abacha on November 17, 1993.
