Lagos To Introduce Compulsory Subject For All Students

The Lagos State Government has concluded its plan to implement the
teaching of Yoruba language and making it compulsory in all public
schools in the state.


According to the Lagos State Deputy Governor, Dr Idiat Oluranti
Adebule, who rerepresented Governor Akinwunmi Ambode, at a
stakeholders forum on Thursday noted that henceforth the subject would
be taught in primary and junior secondary schools across the state.

She stated that the subject will make them learn about the culture and the
people's general way of life, adding that is it very important for every
Yoruba child to be able to speak the language fluently.

The deputy governor stressed that the house will aid in making
appropriate legislations that would back up government efforts at making
Yoruba language a compulsory subject in all schools in the state.
