TAF Narrative | Are Nigerian Languages Disappearing?
1pm GMT | 2pm WAT | 3pm CAT | 4pm EAT

Language is the bedrock of culture, history and collective identity. Across Nigeria, indigenous languages carry the traditions, wisdom and stories of generations. However, as global communication shifts and urban centers adopt unified languages, a critical question emerges: Are Nigerian languages gradually disappearing? Join The African Federation’s Narrative Focus Unit for a timely panel discussion exploring the state of indigenous languages, the cultural impact of language loss, and actionable strategies to preserve our linguistic heritage for future generations. Join the conversation here.
