Some students might be wondering whether the correct answer here is supposed to be October 1, 1960. Well, according to the history, Nigeria became a British protectorate in 1901. Colonization lasted until 1960, when an independence movement succeeded in gaining Nigeria its independence. Nigeria first became a republic in 1963, but succumbed to military rule three years later after a bloody coup d'état. In other words, Nigeria gained independence on October 1, 1960 but became a republic on October 1, 1963.
