Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
The political structure of Nigeria under the first military regime was unitary. In 1966, General Aguiyi-Ironsi abolished the federal system and introduced a unitary system through Decree No. 34. This centralized power at the centre and dissolved the regions. The unitary structure was later reversed by General Gowon, who restored federalism.
