Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the primary executive body at the center under the 1951 Macpherson Constitution.
The Council of Ministers was established as the principal policy-making executive organ, consisting of 12 Nigerian ministers (4 per region) and 6 ex-officio members.
This introduced Nigerian ministers into the central executive for the first time.
2
Examine the legislative structure at the national level.
The Central House of Representatives was a unicameral legislature with 148 total members, primarily chosen indirectly from the regional legislative houses.
The 1951 Constitution created a central legislature linked directly to the regional legislatures.
3
Determine the dual function of the Regional Assemblies.
The Regional Assemblies held legislative authority over regional matters and served as electoral colleges to send members to the central legislature.
Indirect elections meant central lawmakers were elected by regional assembly members.
4
Identify the institutional mechanism for administrative personnel management.
The Public Service Commission was set up to advise the Governor on public service recruitment, promotions, and discipline.
This institutionalized civil service administration during the constitutional reforms.
