GALA NATIVE AUTHORITY Igala Native Authority was created along with other native Authorities in the Northern part of the country, to implement the indirect rule system of the British colonialists in Northern Nigeria, between 1946 and 1954, Igala Native Authority had become the second richest native Authority in the whole Northern Nigeria; Kano Native Authority was the first. It is of interest to note that the Igala Native Authority (NA) in the then Kabba province had twenty districts, and indeed because of the effectiveness of the Igala Native Authority administration, whose finances were used to assist other less endowed Native Authorities in the defunct Northern Nigeria, the Igala province was contemplated in 1964 by the Northern regional Government to become the 14th province in the Northern region of Nigeria before the Military coup of 1966 scuttled the process.
