Description
Our Nigerian flag is made in the United States from weather-resistant nylon fabric. The nylon used in our flags is lightweight, allowing them to fly regally in gentle breezes. The green and white design is digitally printed with UV-resistant inks, creating bright colors that resist fading, even when flown in direct sunlight.
A strong canvas heading and two brass grommets provide a practical way to attach your flag to any standard outdoor flagpole. We offer the Nigerian flag in the sizes 12” x 18”, 2’ x 3’, 3’ x 5’, 4’ x 6’, 5’ x 8’, and 6’ x 10’ to suit a variety of different needs and display setups. Not sure which size you need?

Nigeria Flag Meaning & History
The flag of Nigeria was officially adopted on October 1, 1960, the date Nigeria gained independence from British rule. Its design was created by Michael Taiwo Akinkunmi, whose entry was selected through a national competition that received over 3,000 submissions.
The two vertical green stripes represent the country's agriculture, while the central white stripe symbolizes peace and unity. Akinkunmi’s original design had a large red sun in the center of the white stripe, which was removed from the final version.
