Answer Details
The British colonial policy of 'indirect rule' was first implemented in Nigeria by Lord Lugard in the Northern region, specifically in Kano. Indirect rule is a system of governance used by the British to control parts of their colonial empire, particularly in Africa and Asia, through pre-existing local power structures. These dependencies were often called 'protectorates' or 'trucial states'.
