JAMB - Government (1995 - No. 24)
Indirect rule was introduced in Nigeria because
traditional rulers were powerful
there were few administrators in the country
the colonialists were poor administrators
the native authorities were already well organized
توضیح
The British introduced indirect rule in Nigeria primarily because they lacked enough colonial administrators to govern the vast and diverse territories effectively. Instead of direct administration, they relied on existing traditional rulers and structures to implement colonial policies, collect taxes, and maintain law and order.
