Which of the following best describe the system of government in Nigeria between 1922 and 1953?
Answer Details
Between 1922 and 1953, Nigeria had a colonial system of government. The system of government was mainly Unitary. This means that power was centralized in the hands of the British colonial authorities who ruled Nigeria from the capital city, Lagos. The colonial government controlled all aspects of governance, including legislation, executive decisions, and the judiciary. The traditional rulers and local authorities were subject to the control and influence of the colonial authorities. Therefore, the colonial government had complete control over Nigeria during this period, and the country was not self-governed. Nigeria did not become a federal republic until 1963 when it gained independence from Britain.
