dc.descriptionThis book recalls the author’s first five years in Northern Nigeria. He was appointed as a cadet in 1951, the last year of large-scale British recruitment to the Nigerian Administrative Service, which was to be so recklessly and needlessly dispersed a decade later. As his sources he made used of diaries, correspondence, and official reports which he wrote at the time. Some of the official reports are included at the end of the book. His object has been simple: to show the kind of men he was and the type of work the majority of them, at the broad base of the administrative pyramid, did, and how they did it.
