Answer Details

The electoral body that conducted elections in Nigeria from 1979 to 1983 was the Federal Electoral Commission. The Federal Electoral Commission (FEDECO) was established in 1979 under the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, with the responsibility of conducting elections at the federal and state levels. FEDECO was responsible for conducting the elections that brought Alhaji Shehu Shagari into power as the first executive President of Nigeria in 1979, and for the subsequent elections held in 1983. FEDECO was dissolved after the 1983 elections and was replaced by the National Electoral Commission (NEC) in 1987.
