Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation

The primary goals of colonial administration in Nigeria were to ensure political control and economic exploitation. The colonial government focused on:

Maintaining law and order to secure colonial rule
Ensuring efficient extraction and export of raw materials (economic exploitation)
Protecting British economic and political interests

This reflects the true nature of colonial rule as primarily exploitative rather than developmental.
