Which policy implemented by the British in the 1930s aimed at developing infrastructure and boosting agriculture in Nigeria?

The Colonial Development and Welfare Act passed in Britain in 1929 and expanded in 1940. It funded infrastructure like roads, railways, and agricultural improvements. The goal was developing colonies economically while maintaining control.

The Ten-Year Plan came later in the 1940s. Northern and industrial development plans were more specific regional programs. The CD&W Act was the broader imperial policy.

This act showed Britain trying to improve colonies for economic benefit. Better infrastructure meant more exports and profits.
