Meaning of Coat of Arms
The Coat of Arms: It is also called Armorial Bearing. The coat of arms has a black shield which shows that it has fertile soil. The two silver bends look like the letter “y” which represents rivers Niger and Benue. The eagle on top stands for strength and the two stallions (horses) by the sides stand for dignity. The motto of the country is unity and faith, peace, and progress.
The flag is divided into three equal parts, the green stands for the rich (soil) agriculture while the white stands for peace and unity of the country. The national flag is designed by Mr. Taiwo Akinkunmi.
