| 1960–1963 | At the time of independence in 1960, Nigeria was a federal state of three regions: Northern, Western, and Eastern. Additionally, provinces, which were a legacy of colonial and protectorate times, remained extant until they were abolished in 1976. |  |
| 1963–1967 | In 1963, a new region, the Mid-Western Region, was created from the Western Region. |  |
| 1967–1976 | In 1967, the regions were replaced by 12 states by military decree. From 1967 to 1970 the Eastern Region attempted to secede, as a nation called Biafra during the Nigerian civil war. |  |
| 1976–1987 | In 1976, seven new states were created, making 19 altogether.[1] |  |
| 1987–1991 | During this period, there were 21 states and the Agan̄ Ama-ibot Ido. |  |
| 1991–1996 | During this period, there were 30 states and the Agan̄ Ama-ibot Ido. The Federal Capital Territory was established in 1991. In 1987 two new states were established, followed by another nine in 1991, bringing the total to 30. The latest change, in 1996, resulted in the present number of 36 states. |  |
