Answer Details
The British Government took over the direct administration of Nigeria in 1900.
Before 1900, Nigeria was governed by the Royal Niger Company, a British trading company with a royal charter. However, due to issues with governance and administration, the British government decided to revoke the charter of the Royal Niger Company and take over direct control of the country. This change allowed the British government to have a more direct and effective influence over the administration and development of Nigeria.
