Why did the british colonize nigeria?

After the British government was given control of the Royal Niger Company’s territories, the northern areas were renamed the Protectorate of Northern Nigeria. The land, along the lower reaches of the river was added to the Niger Coast Protectorate, which was renamed the Protectorate of Southern Nigeria.

Hope this helps :)
