Answer 1

Growing nationalism in Nigeria played a major role in the country gaining its independence in 1960. The Nigerian people began to push for self-governance and independence from British colonial rule through various movements and protests. This led to negotiations and eventually the granting of independence to Nigeria in 1960. The increased sense of national identity and desire for self-determination were key factors in the country's independence.
