Worried by the declining use of indigenous languages, especially the
Yoruba, D.O Fagunwa Foundation, has announced its commitment to
promote the use of indigenous languages in schools in line with the
National Policy on Education, especially in the South West. At a press
briefing yesterday in Lagos, on the D.O. Fagunwa Memorial Lecture
billed to hold on Monday, December 7, Chairman of the Foundation, Mrs.
Ibukunade Sijuwola, disclosed the foundation's plan to ensure a
re-introduction of the study of Yoruba Literature into the school
curriculum.
