The flag of the Commander in Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces is a 1:2
horizontal tetracolor of red, black, white, and green.
The flag can be seen in a quite few on-line photos of the
President of Nigeria in official settings, alongside
the national flag of Nigeria.

[Depictions with a black stripe are] incorrect. The flag consists of four horizontal stripes,
red, blue, white and green.
It is used as presidential flag, while it appears in all places together with the national flag
where the president is present. Also used as car flag. Noted that the green stripe is different from
the green of the flag of the national flag.

Currently this striped flag is functional as de facto Presidential flag (since 2007 at least).

The armed forces flag is a horizontal tri-colour of red, blue and sky-blue.
I think each color represents the Army, Navy, and Air Force.
On the other hand the Presidential standard and Commander-in-Chief flags has
red, blue, white, and green.
If red represents the Army, blue the Navy, and white the Air Force, what does green stand for?　What do
the colors of this flag symbolize?
