This Usmanu Danfodiyo University professor delivers mathematics lesson in Hausa. His name is Prof. Aminu A. Usman. Some years ago, Bayero University Kano translated some science textbooks into Hausa to facilitate understanding. Several studies have shown that learning in one’s mother tongue is very effective and enhances understanding. Imagine learning all those complex scientific and technological terms in your mother tongue; I am sure you would understand a lot more. Language barriers are among the major obstacles to effective curriculum implementation. This is a good development, particularly given that Nigeria’s National Policy on Education recognises the importance of using local languages at the pre-primary and primary levels of education.
