Abstract: | This article examines the origins of the Nigerian-Cameroonian administrative connection, focusing on the political impact of Britain's administrative integration of Cameroon with Nigeri'a from the period shortly after World War I to the establishment of a House of Assembly in anglophone Cameroon in 1954. The direct political impact of Nigeria on anglophone Cameroon may be attributed to the Cameroonians who found their way to Nigeria where they became politicized and who later returned to Cameroon. Nigerian institutions such as the Nigerian Legislative Council (LEGCO) and the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons provided the first political experience for pre-1954 Cameroonian nationalists.
