It was established in the 1930 s under British rule as a subdivision of the Southern Nigeria colony. Upon independence of Nigeria in 1960 , it became one of the members of the federation, along with the Eastern Region and the Northern Region . In 1963 , two provinces Benin and Delta were split from the region to form the new Mid-Western Region . In 1967 the regions were abolished and the area was subdivided into Lagos and Western states, which would also later be subdivided. |
