HC Deb 06 February 1958 vol 581 c204W
83. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he is aware that British information services in, Nigeria have only one information officer for the whole of Nigeria; that this involves for him long journeys in each of the three regions, and that the increasing development of each of the three regions requires the whole time attention in each of the three regions of at least one information officer; and if he will take immediate steps to appoint extra information officers each with an office and staff in each of the three regions of Eastern, Western, and Northern Nigeria, respectively.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

Yes, there are at present two United Kingdom infomation officers based on Lagos, and I hope that an additional officer will shortly be posted to each of the Regions.
