Nigerian National Language

Nigeria's national language is Yoruba, which serves as a unifying language across the country, facilitating communication among its diverse ethnic groups. While Nigeria has over 500 indigenous languages, Yoruba is one of the major languages spoken by millions, especially in the southwestern region. It is used in government, media, education, and formal settings to promote national identity and cohesion. The language helps bridge linguistic differences and preserves Nigeria’s rich cultural heritage, making it an important symbol of unity in a multilingual nation.
