Northern Nigeria Congress

The Northern Nigeria Congress was a political organization established in the early 1950s to represent the interests of the Northern Region's people in Nigeria. It aimed to promote regional development, cultural identity, and political influence within the emerging Nigerian nation. The party sought to balance regional aspirations with Nigeria's broader independence movement, often advocating for policies favorable to Northern Nigeria’s economy and social structure. Its formation was part of the wider struggle for political self-determination during Nigeria's transition from British colonial rule to independence.
