§ 22. Mr. James Johnsonasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what opportunities are given in Nigeria for promotion and training to the European development officers.
§ Mr. J. GriffithsDevelopment officers who have the necessary qualifications are considered for transfer to the administrative or technical branches of the Government service. Eleven officers have secured such appointments during the past year.
§ Mr. JohnsonDoes my right hon. Friend think it possible that by special courses these development officers might become administrative officers at the end of 10 years' service?
§ Mr. GriffithsYes, Sir. As I have indicated some have already developed in that way.
