An ex-presidential aspirant of the Young Progressives Party,
YPP, and now a member of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Adamu Garba, has
purportedly claimed Arabic is Nigeria’s official language in addition to the
English language.
Adamu made the claim while voicing his support for the
redesigning of the Naira, saying it is long overdue.
Recall that the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria,
Godwin Emefiele, announced that new Naira notes with new designs would be
launched in December this year.
Taking to his Twitter, Adamu suggested that the CBN should
retain the two official languages of English and Arabic, while effecting the
change in the Naira notes.
He wrote: “Redesigning the Naira is long overdue. One of the
giant strides of CBN Gov. Godwin Emefiele. However, wide-ranging consultation
& rapid awareness needs to be created.
“For trust’s sake, the two official languages of English
& Arabic need to remain, in addition to the local ones”.
When did the Arabic became Nigerian official language?
ReplyDeleteWhen did Arabic become official language in Nigeria? It may be for you religious purposes but that is how far it can go.
