Seal of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
The Seal of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is the official emblem of the Nigerian presidency. It symbolizes the authority and office of the President of Nigeria.
The seal was first introduced in 1979 by President Shehu Shagari during the Second Republic. However, following the military coup of 1983, successive military regimes discontinued its use. It remained unused from 1983 to 1999, spanning several military administrations.
With the return to democratic governance in 1999 and the start of the Fourth Republic, the presidential seal was reinstated and has been in continuous use since.
