The 1954 Lyttelton Constitution established true federalism in Nigeria. It introduced the office of Premier for majority party leaders in regional legislatures, designated Lagos as a federal capital territory separate from the West, granted Southern Cameroons quasi-regional status with its own assembly separate from the East, and established autonomous Regional Public Service Commissions.
