Time To Hit The Reset Botton Of Nigeria By Eleojo Abubakar | Sahara Reporters

Colonial regions were like countries, just as the UK is currently made up of 4 countries: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Colonial provinces were like the current states of Nigeria. There were 3 administrative regions in Nigeria from 1938 - 1963: Northern, Eastern, and Western . By 1949, these regions had about 12, 12 and 9 provinces respectively . By 1963, the western region was split into 2: Western and Mid-Western Regions.

Most of the supposed newly created states in regions outside the core north existed as provinces in colonial times . For instance, contrary to the claim that Kogi State was created by IBB in 1991, it existed under the name ‘Kabba Province’ since about 1938 . Indeed, old Kabba province had 3 divisions: Kabba, Igbirra and Igala Divisions which are synonymous with the current three senatorial districts in Kogi State: Kogi West, Kogi Central and Kogi East Senatorial Districts respectively.
