A Governor was appointed and three provinces: Western, Eastern and Central were formed. All Southern Nigeria was now placed under a single Administration.
In Northern Nigeria, the protectorate of Northern Nigeria replaced the administration of the Royal/Niger Company was 1900. Up to 1908, the Chief Administrator was called High Commissioner and after 1908 he was called the Governor.
Between 1900 to 1914 centres of resistance to British rule was attacked and defeated by Royal West African Frontier Force-Nupe 1901, Kontangora 1901, Bauchi 1902, Bornu 1902, Kano 1903, Sokoto, 1903. Lord Lugard carried out the pacification of the Northern Nigeria by instituting the system of Native.
Administration or indirect rule, Lord Lugard allowed the defeated Emirs and Chiefs to govern their territories in accordance with their own laws and customs under the supervision of the British officers who acted as advisers to the Emirs and restrained the excesses whenever native customs conflict with the laws of Britain.
