Two institutions of local government in Nigeria during the colonial period were native courts and the native treasury. Native courts were established to settle disputes among individuals and communities. They were presided over by chiefs or traditional rulers and operated under the supervision of colonial officials. The native treasury, on the other hand, was responsible for the collection and management of taxes and revenue at the local level. It was also managed by chiefs and traditional rulers under the supervision of colonial officials.
