The correct chronological sequence of developments in Nigeria's Fourth Republic governance is: Establishment of the ICPC (2000), passage of the First Constitutional Alteration granting INEC financial autonomy (2010), enactment of the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act (2011), and assent to the Electoral Act 2022 permitting electronic result transmission (2022).

Establishment of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) in September 2000; 2. Enactment of the First Alteration Act to the 1999 Constitution providing financial independence for INEC in July 2010; 3. Signing of the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act in May 2011; and 4. Assent to the Electoral Act 2022 legalizing electronic result transmission in February 2022.
