Symbolism and Use of the Mace The Mace of the House of Representatives is the symbol not only of the Royal authority but of the authority of the House. As it has been stated that 'the authority of the Speaker and of the House are indivisible', it also symbolises the authority of the Speaker. Before the election of a Speaker, the Mace is placed on brackets under the Table of the House and as soon as the Speaker takes his or her seat after being elected by the House, it is placed on rests on the Table (Standing Order 12). [caption id="attachment_206990" align="aligncenter" width="386"] The Nigeria mace[/caption] When the Speaker is in the Chair, the Mace lies on the Table, with the orb and cross surmounting it pointing to the government side, that is, to the Speaker's right.

he story of Nigeria as a substance started under two hundred years back. European forces started to investigate Africa in the fifteenth century, however their exercises, principally exchange, were restricted to the seaside zones. As these European forces experienced expanded financial issues intensified by political contentions late in the nineteenth century, they started to search externally to Africa for part of the arrangement. The owning of provinces brought the desire of benefit from financial exercises and in this manner, the expansion of ranges of prominence turned into a fixation. New markets were required for acquiring crude materials for assembling, and thus, made merchandise required new markets to misuse. This brought about what came to be known as "The Scramble for Africa". In a gathering in Berlin, Germany, in 1884-5, Britain, France, Germany and Belgium self-assertively isolated the mainland into their particular ranges of authority by basically drawing lines o...

The History Of WAEC can be dated back to 1948 when the University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate and the University of London School Examinations Matriculation Council discussed with the West African Departments of Education the future policy of school examinations as would be best suited to the needs of West Africa.  Following this discussion, the late Dr. G. B. Jeffery, F.R.S., Director of the University of London’s Institute of Education, was invited in October 1949 by the British Secretary of State for the Colonies to visit West Africa to study and advise on a “proposal that there should be instituted a WEST AFRICAN SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS COUNCIL”.

The Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria was founded in 1933 by the British colonial government. Named the Radio Diffusion Service (RDS), it allowed the public to hear the British Broadcasting Corporation's foreign radio service broadcasts in certain public locations over loudspeakers. In April 1950, the RDS became the Nigerian Broadcasting Service and introduced radio stations in Lagos, Kaduna, Enugu, Ibadan, and Kano. This service was reorganized into the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) on April 1, 1957, by act of parliament. Its mission was to "provide, as a public service, independent and impartial broadcasting services". By 1962 the NBC had expanded its broadcast stations into Sokoto, Maiduguri, Ilorin, Zaria, Jos, and Katsina in the north; Port Harcourt, Calabar, and Onitsha in the East; and Abeokuta, Warri, and Ijebu-Ode in the West. Each of these stations was considered a subsidiary station of a regional station. The subsidiary stations broadcast local in...

The Profession of Quantity Surveying is practiced in Nigeria along the same pattern as in the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth countries. In America, they are known as Cost Engineers.
