Abstract:
In this era of linguistic globalisation and the attempt to build monocultural societies, people’s cultural and linguistic rights, especially in Africa are seriously violated. The linguistic situation in Nigeria where indigenous languages have been banished from homes, schools and other vital spheres of life is a case in point. Although there has been much call for intensive teaching and learning of the languages with a view to revitalizing them, the basic fact that prospective learners see very little or no value in learning them is indicative of their neglect. To foster indigenous language teaching and learning in Nigeria, this paper posits that equal, if not greater, attention should be paid to a third essential factor – language utility. In this respect, the article dwells on political communication, health and banking as some of the strongholds of national life to find expression for the empowerment of indigenous lan-guages in Nigeria.
