President Goodluck Jonathan has declared three days mourning for the late South African Icon and former President of South Africa, Dr Nelson Mandela who died on Thursday.
President Jonathan made the declaration while in Paris, France, attending a summit on peace and security in Africa.
During the three days mourning, flags are to be flown at half mast in all the states of the country.
He also called for special prayers in churches and mosques throughout Nigeria.
World leaders have since Thursday paid tribute to the former South African leader for his selfless service for the liberation of his people and indeed Africa.
