unity and patriotism among Nigerians.
He noted that the flag flying high represents not only the sovereignty of Nigeria but also the collective spirit and unity of the diverse groups that make Kwara home.

Onilu further stated, “As the agency responsible for promoting national values and orientation, we appreciate the Kwara State Government’s efforts in creating a landmark that showcases our nation’s rich cultural heritage and promotes socioeconomic development.”

The NOA DG, noted that the flagpole’s impact extends beyond its physical presence, but a cultural yardstick that reflects the country’s dynamic spirit and harmonious blend of ethnic diversity.

He highlighted the flagpole’s economic potential, attracting tourism, investment, and development opportunities.

“By drawing visitors from around the globe, Kwara State enhances its position as a destination for cultural exploration and economic engagement.”
