Abstract
This project on the 'Economic Policy and Development of West Africa State
during Colonial Era", tried to analyze the nature of the colonial economic
policies. The various policies used by the three major European powers that
colonized the West African region were highlighted.
The various differences in the economic policies that were- used clearly
exposed the original intention of the colonial masters, no matter how good
the policy looked as exploitative. To exploit the many resources of the West
African people and export such to their European Nations. The paper also
emphasized on the role of the 1930 economic slump with a world wide
depression, which forced the European powers to change their policies to
better the West African States. This change brought in the 'Rapid
Industrialization Programme' which brought a lot of gain into the West African
States.
