I am a Nigerian and there are a lot of heros that contributed to Nigerian Independence but very notable to me are 2 personalities:
1.) Alhaji Sir Ahmadu Bello:
Considered as one of the most prominent leaders in early Nigeria, he went into politics back in 1934 and in 1954 became the first premier of the Northern Nigeria region. He is commended for his efforts to modernize and unify the different tribes of northern Nigeria. On 15th January 1966, he was assassinated in a coup that toppled Nigeria’s post-independence government.The Ahmadu Bello University is named after him and his photo adorns Nigeria’s 200 naira.
2.) Chief Obafemi Awolowo:
He was one of the pioneer leaders that fought for Nigeria’s independence and he introduced free education in the western region in 1955
