Why the answer is B, and why the others tempt you.
The Federal Capital Territory was officially inaugurated and the seat of government moved from Lagos to Abuja on 12 December 1991, during Ibrahim Babangida's military administration. Although the FCT was created under Murtala/Obasanjo in 1976, the actual relocation of the capital was completed under Babangida.
