 | | Sir Frederick John Dealtry Lugard (Chinese Translated Name 盧押, or more rarely, 盧嘉) (January 22, 1858 - 1945), Baron Lugard of Abinger, (often referred to as Lord Lugard) was a British soldier, explorer of Africa and colonial administrator, who was Governor of Hong Kong. |
 | | In 1894, Lugard was despatched by the Royal Niger Company to Borgu, where he secured treaties with the kings and chiefs acknowledging the sovereignty of the British company, while distancing the other colonial powers that were there. |
 | | Throughout his tenure, Lugard sought strenuously to secure the amelioration of the condition of the native people, among other means by the exclusion, wherever possible, of alcoholic liquors, and by the suppression of slave raiding and slavery. |
