NATIONAL & REGIMENTAL COLOURS IN THE NIGERIAN MILITARY
In the Nigerian Armed Forces, the National and Regimental Colours are among the most respected military symbols. They are not ordinary flags. They represent the honour, history, sacrifices, victories, and identity of units.
HOW ARE THEY TREATED?
Regimental colours are treated with extreme respect:
• They are escorted by armed guards during ceremonies
• Soldiers salute the colours on parade
• Guests stand when the colours pass
• They are usually kept in the commander’s office when not inuse
