Yobe State Government is poised to take a lead in the crusade for the use of indigenous languages as the medium of education in Nigerian schools.
the state’s Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), chairman, Goni Ibrahim, has, to this effect, announced the adoption of Hausa language as the medium of instruction for public primary schools in the state.
He, however, said the policy would be limited to pupils in primary one to three.
Goni, who was represented at the Master Trainers workshop for teachers in Bauchi by Sama’ila Machina the Director Social Mobilization of the board, said they adopted Hausa as the medium of instruction in schools to enhance learning through the use of mother tongue and also to eradicate illiteracy.
