OGUN STATE government has been called upon to re-introduce Hausa language
into the State’s primary and secondary schools curriculum, as part
of the package for free education in the state.
The Chairman of the Ofelodun Local government Transition committee, Alhaji
Sunmonorth made the call yesterday while commissioning a new block of
classrooms in L’ofelofo quarters, Abeokuta.
He said: “For our own sake, we must revive Hausa language in our
community and indeed in the whole of the south. Our children must be able
to read and write and speak Hausa fluently.
“They must understand that Hausa is an indisputable language of
political power in this country. Our son from the south, Obasanjo is president
today because of his ability to speak Hausa. Another son of ours from
the south, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe was president in the first republic. He
too was very fluent in Hausa.”
