The Federal Executive Council has approved a new National Language Policy making the various mother tongues compulsory medium of instruction from primary one to six.
The Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, noted that the policy takes immediate effect.
He stated that the government is aware that its implementation will be difficult but it is necessary to promote the cultivation and use of all Nigerian languages.
He revealed that 29 languages have become extinct, leaving the country with 625 languages.
Adamu says even though the policy has officially taken effect, it can only be fully implemented when government develops instructional materials and qualified teachers are available.
