Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
Under the Clifford Constitution (1922), the Legislative Council’s authority applied mainly to the Southern Provinces (and Lagos). The Northern Protectorate was excluded from its legislative jurisdiction because it was still governed separately through indirect rule under the Governor and local traditional authorities.
So, the most significant feature of the 1922 Legislative Council was that:
- It had no legislative authority over Northern Nigeria
- It focused on the South, especially Lagos and Calabar
- The North remained under separate administrative control
