Northern People's Congress (NPC)

The Northern People's Congress (NPC) was a political party in Nigeria, founded in 1951. It was primarily focused on the interests of the Northern regions of Nigeria and played a significant role in the country's early political landscape. The NPC aimed to promote regional autonomy and development while advocating for the interests of the Northern population. As Nigeria moved towards independence, the party engaged in negotiations and political maneuvering, ultimately influencing the formation of the nation’s first government. Its impact laid the groundwork for the complex political dynamics that would shape Nigeria's future.
