Comprehension Passage: The Early Days of British Rule in Nigeria

A long time ago, the British came to Nigeria and took control of the land. They set up a government and began making decisions for the people. They created something called "headquarters" to help them rule more easily. The first headquarters was in Lagos, a city near the ocean. The British liked Lagos because it was close to the sea, making it easy to send goods like palm oil and cocoa back to Britain.

The British made laws and asked people to pay taxes. They used the money to build roads, schools, and railways. Some Nigerians worked with the British to help them govern, while others did not like the British and wanted them to leave.

Over time, the British set up headquarters in other parts of Nigeria. In the north, they had their headquarters in Kaduna, and in the east, they used Enugu. These places helped the British control the large area that is now called Nigeria.

Many years later, in 1960, Nigerians worked together to gain independence. This meant they could make their own laws and govern themselves. Today, Nigeria is a free country with its own government.

Where was the first British headquarters in Nigeria located?

• Lagos
• Kaduna
• Enugu
• Abuja
