Nigeria Council was the first law-making body in Nigeria after amalgamation .
After the amalgamation of the Northern and Southern Protectorate in 1914, Lord Lugard established the Nigerian Council. This existed side by side with legislative council of the colony of Lagos. The council consisted of 36 members which was made up of 23 European officials, and 13 non-official members of which 7 of them were Europeans and 6 Nigerians.
The council was merely an ''advisory-talking-drum. Its advice could be taken or dropped at the discretion of the governor who had a veto power.
