ROYAL NIGER COMPANY STRONGLY
OBJECTS TO THE "TRANSFER" OF URHOBO COUNTRY FROM ITS SPHERE TO NIGER COAST
PROTECTORATE, 1899
Sir George Goldie's Royal Niger
Company had been operating in Urhobo country, principally in its waterways,
since its Charter in 1886. In this document, it objects to the incorporation
of this territory into the Niger Coast Protectorate, formed by the British
in 1891.
