Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, made this known to State House correspondents at the end of the Council meeting which was presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday in Abuja.
He said: “A memo on national policy was approved by the council. So, Nigeria now has a National Language Policy and the details will be given later by the ministry.
“One of the highlights is that the government has agreed now that henceforth, instruction in primary schools; the first six years of learning will be in the mother tongue.”
