In 1912 he joined the colonial service and was posted in northern Nigeria in 1912. He was made Government Anthropologist under governor-general Frederick Lugard who sought to extend his policy of indirect rule south and wanted to know more about local practice. 〔 Meek attained the rank of Resident and transferred to the southern provinces of Nigeria in 1929 before resigning due to health issues in 1933.〔 In 1925 he published ''The Northern Tries of Nigeria'' and in 1931 ''A Sudanese Kingdom'' about divine kingship among the Jukun-speaking peoples. He did scholarly research with R.R. Marett and C. G. Seligman.
