The Army’s new language policy has come into effect.

This is inspite of efforts by the House of Representatives to stop its
implementation.

Every soldier is now expected to have basic proficiency in the three major
languages which are Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa.

This was revealed by the Chief of Policy and Plans, who represented the
Chief of Army Staff at a social event to review the activities of the Army
in the past year.

Major General Rasheed Yusuf explains that the essence of the policy is to
promote unity and better interaction with other military and para military
organisations in the country.
