Governor ahmed calls for use of indigenous language for instruction

I think you may be referring to the Governor of Sokoto State in Nigeria, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, not Ahmed. On August 26, 2020, Governor Tambuwal called for the use of indigenous languages for instruction in schools in Sokoto State. Here's a summary of the news report:

Governor Tambuwal, who is also the Chairman of the Nigeria Governors' Forum, made the call during the 2020 Annual Conference of the Nigerian Association for Educational Administration and Planning (NAEAP) held in Sokoto. He emphasized the importance of promoting the use of indigenous languages in education, citing the need to preserve cultural heritage and promote national unity.

According to the Governor, the use of indigenous languages in education would also help to improve literacy rates and enhance the understanding of cultural values and traditions. He noted that the use of indigenous languages would also help to reduce the reliance on foreign languages and promote the development of local content.

The Governor also called for the establishment of a national policy on the use of indigenous languages in education, which would provide a framework for the implementation of this policy across the country.

It's worth noting that this call is not unique to Sokoto State, as there have been similar calls from other stakeholders in the education sector in Nigeria. However, Governor Tambuwal's call is significant because it highlights the importance of promoting the use of indigenous languages in education and the need for a national policy to support this initiative.
