The House of Representatives is working on a bill to commercialise national emblems and symbols, among others, to generate revenue for the Federal Government.

Such items to be regulated and sold by a proposed agency include the national flag and the coat of arm.

Benson, in the explanatory note, said, “This bill seeks to establish the National Icons, Symbols Legacy Agency as a revenue generating agency of the Federal Government of Nigeria for the purpose of production, sales and distribution of uniform products such as the Nigerian national flag, the coat of arms and printing of copies of the national anthem in the Nigerian languages and for preservation of all national icons and symbols as a legacy for future generations and for related purposes.

When established, NISLA and the Nigerian Immigration Service will conduct examinations for foreigners entering Nigeria to determine how much they know about the country. “Ensure the preservation of all national symbols and icons in both digital and manual formats. Be solely responsible for the uniform printing and sale of all national symbols and icons. Account for all amounts so collected for the sale of all national symbols and icons in a manner to be prescribed by the President.

Now I see that this country is truly going backward. These are items u should give out freely. These things are already made but how many people are buying? I can't buy anyways because I have my own company's logo to make as emblem to wear.

Are you guys paying to use other countries flag in Nigeria?

I am not understanding...
