Nationalism in Nigeria refers to the political, social and economic movements by Nigerians to resist colonial rule and demand self-governance. This rise of national consciousness and the activities of nationalist leaders such as Nnamdi Azikiwe, Obafemi Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello eventually led to the decolonisation of Nigeria—that is, the end of British colonial rule and the attainment of independence in 1960.
