Sir A. Richards

Promoted From Jamaica To Nigeria

GOVERNOR of Fiji 1936-38, and later transferred t to Jamaica, Sir Arthur Richards has now been appointed Governor and Commander-in-Chief of

Nigeria.

During his term in Fiji he proved himself a man of strength and pur pose. He found particular favour with residents of the outlying terri tories of the West ern Pacific High C o m m i ssion to which he devoted a great deal of his time.

His appointment to Jamaica was received in Fiji with regret. But a bad industrial situation had to be cleaned up in Jamaica, and Sir A. Richards was the man for the job. He was quite successful.

His new appoint-

ment brings, with it a substantial increase in salary; £6,500, plus a duty allowance of £1,750, in Nigeria, as against £4,500, plus £l,OOO duty allowance, in Jamaica.
