The symbols of authority for the three arms of the Nigerian government are as follows: The Executive arm is represented by the Coat of Arms, which includes a black shield with a wavy white pall, symbolizing the meeting of the Niger and Benue Rivers at Lokoja. The Legislative arm is represented by the Mace, a ceremonial staff that signifies the authority of the Parliament. The Judicial arm is symbolized by the Gavel, a small ceremonial mallet used by judges to maintain order and signify the authority of the court.
