Abstract
This study examines the colonial economy of Wudil District between the years 1907 to 1960. This was done within the backdrop of the claims by the British Colonial Authority that colonialism was beneficial and it had done more good than harm to the people. Examining the experience in Wudil District shows that colonialism had done more harm than good to the people. This is demonstrated through a critical study and examination of the introduction and implementation of colonial policies, which led to destruction of indigenous economic activities, causing food shortage, hunger and famine, indebtedness, poverty and general underdevelopment of the district.
