Authors

Abstract

The guest for a sustainable Education, Health and Economy has continued to linger in the minds of Nigerians with little or no hope towards achieving his goal. However all hope is not lost provided we are ready to redress our steps. Nigerians need to understand that language is the epitome of people's life. Perhaps, we need to tell ourselves the simple truth that until the policy that emphasizes on Nigerian language usages in all ramifications is implemented, little or nothing may be achieved in this direction. This paper therefore, focuses on the importance of Nigerian languages in re-packaging our education for dynamic economy, for it is high time ours became ours without reservation. In this paper, ‘indigenous’ and ‘Nigerian’ will be used interchangeably to qualify the noun, languages, so as to meet with the aspirations of the entire populace. There is no doubt, that the use of indigenous languages in Nigerian Education system will have tremendous impact on Health, Economy, Science and Technology.
