END OF ASSIGNMENT
Nigeria is a federal republic of 36 states and a federal
capital territory, with a population of about 150 million.
In 2007 Umaru Musa Yar'Adua of the ruling People's
Democratic Party (PDP) was elected to a four-year term
as president, along with Vice President Goodluck
Jonathan, also of the PDP. The election was marred by
what international and domestic observers characterized
as massive fraud and serious irregularities, including vote
rigging and political violence. Vice President Jonathan
became acting president on February 9 after the National
Assembly conferred presidential authority on him during
President Yar'Adua's prolonged illness. On May 5,
Jonathan assumed the presidency following Yar'Adua's
death. There were numerous instances in which
elements of the security forces acted independently of
civilian control.

National Flag
The flag of the Federal Republic of Nigeria was designed

in 1959 and first officially hoisted on 1 October 1960. The

flag has three vertical bands of green, white, green. The

two green stripes represent natural wealth, and the white

represents peace and unity

Coat of Arms
The coat of arms of Nigeria consists of a black shield with

a wavy white pall, symbolizing the meeting of the Niger

and Benue Rivers at Lokoja. The black shield represents


Nigeria's fertile soil, while the two supporting horses or

chargers on each side represent dignity.

National Anthem
Arise, O Compatriots
Nigeria’s call obey
To serve our fatherland
With love and strength and faith
The labour of our heroes past,
shall never be in vain
To serve with heart and might,
One nation bound in freedom, peace and unity
Oh God of creation,
Direct our noble cause
Guide our leaders right
Help our youth the truth to know
In love and honesty to grow
And living just and true
Great lofty heights attain
To build a nation where peace and justice shall reign.

National Pledge
I pledge to Nigeria my country.
To be faithful, loyal and honest.
To serve Nigeria with all my strength.
To defend her unity, and uphold her honour and glory.
So help me God.
