Answer:

Nigeria's Independence

Step-by-step explanation:

Nigeria got its independence in 1960 from Britain. British colonists began to take an interest in the late 1800s because of the emergence of palm oil industries in the Niger Delta of Nigeria. After the Second World War, there was an emergence of a movement of independence and toward a self-governance model in Nigeria. Abubakar Tafawa Balewa became the first Prime Minister of Nigeria leading a coalition government of parliamentary system. On this historic day, the British Union Jack flag was lowered and replaced by the new nation’s flag. Many Nigerians popped champagne with the freedom. With the independence, a new constitution, a new prime minister was elected. From then, Nigerians took over the controls of leadership from the British.
