Options
A Federalism
B Confederalism
Correct Answer
C State creation
D Unitarism
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The Aburi Accord, reached in Ghana in 1967, aimed to restructure Nigeria into a looser confederation of regions with greater autonomy for each region, effectively favoring a confederal system rather than a strong federal or unitary one. This was an attempt to avert the Nigerian Civil War.

Hint

This agreement sought to grant significant autonomy to regions, almost to the point of separate states forming a loose union.
