The historic feature of the Legislative Council of Nigeria that met in 1923 was that for the first time, it included elected African members. Prior to this, the Legislative Council only included British officials and official members who were Nigerians appointed by the British colonial government. The inclusion of elected African members was a significant step towards greater representation of Nigerians in their own government, although the Council still remained largely under British control.
