VOTER EDUCATION CONTINUED: Nigeria remained a colony of Britain until October1, 1960. The British administered the country as three regions, namely: Northern, Western and Eastern. Each region had a government, which was responsible for the affairs of that region. This arrangement started in 1946 under the Richards Constitution – which was the first federal constitution of Nigeria. The federal and regional governments were allocated separate functions, thus putting every Nigerian under two governments. Each government had a Legislature (called the House of Assembly), an Executive (made up of Ministers) and a Judiciary.
