The Federal Government of Nigeria has directed that all flags both in the country and at its missions abroad fly at half-mast on Sunday and Monday in honour of the Queen Elizabeth II.

Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, in a statement on Friday commiserated with the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.

He said, “In honour of Queen Elizabeth II, The Sovereign of the United Kingdom, Chairman of the Commonwealth and an eminent global personality, whose passage was announced, the Ministry of Interior of the Federal Government of Nigeria declares that all flags in Nigeria and our missions abroad be flown at half mast on Sunday, September 11th, 2022 and Monday, September 12th, 2022.

“We commiserate with the government and people of the United Kingdom and all the affected people of the Commonwealth and the world.
“The Queen is dead. Long live the King.”

Queen Elizabeth II died on Thursday at the age of 96, making her the longest royal to live in the British history. She was immediately succeeded by her 73-year-old eldest son, King Charles III.
