  • Lagos Electoral DistrictAllocated three elected seats in the Legislative Council for qualified male residents
  • Calabar Electoral DistrictAllocated one elected seat in the Legislative Council for qualified male residents
  • Northern ProvincesExcluded from the jurisdiction of the Legislative Council, remaining governed by proclamations of the Governor
  • Executive CouncilComposed exclusively of British colonial officials with no elected African members

Cevap

Lagos Electoral District matches with being allocated three elected seats; Calabar Electoral District matches with being allocated one elected seat; Northern Provinces match with being excluded from Legislative Council jurisdiction and ruled by governor proclamations; Executive Council matches with being composed exclusively of British colonial officials without elective representation.
The 1922 Clifford Constitution introduced the elective principle for the first time in British West Africa, granting four elected seats in the Legislative Council (3 for Lagos and 1 for Calabar). However, the Northern Provinces remained outside the Council's legislative scope, and the Executive Council remained entirely appointive and British-dominated.
