List Of Nigerian States

Nigeria is currently divided into 36 states and 1 territory. With independence in 1960 it was divided into three regions, Northern, Western and Eastern.

In 1967 the regions were split into 12 states, only the former Mid-Western region remained, only changed its status to be a state. 1976 it was reorganized to be 19 states and the newly formed Federal Capital Territory (now called Abuja). 1989 two new states were established, in 1991 31 states were formed.
