Interactive: 25 states in Nigeria will clock 25years on Saturday, what do you know about them?
After Nigeria got independence in 1960, the country remained a unitary state of three Regions: Northern, Western, and Eastern.
In 1963, the Mid-Western Region was created. In 1967, the regions were replaced by 12 states due to a military decree; only the former Mid-Western Region escaped division, and formed a single state following the restructuring. In 1976, seven new states were created, making 19 altogether.
In 1991, the Federal Capital Territory was established, along with nine other states bringing the total to 30.
All the states created in 1991 will be 25 On Saturday. The interactive maps below give brief overview of the states. Enjoy…
