Richard's constitution laid the foundation for federalism by dividing Nigeria into three regions; the northern, eastern and western regions, but Lyttleton constitution established, introduced and enacted it in Nigeria as a system of government.
We started discussing the adoption of a federal system of government in Nigeria during the Ibadan 1950 All Nigerian Conference. The Richards constitution created provinces/regions, but there was no power sharing. We started practicing the federal system of government officially under the Lyttleton constitution.
Thanks
