schema:text	A verified Facebook user, Chukwudi Ufondu, has posted a claim that Nigeria’s Northern governors have rejected English language as the medium of instruction in schools across the region. His post read thus: “Northern governors rejects English language as an instruction medium in Northern schools!” The post has drawn multiple reactions among his followers. READ: How true are Sanwo-Olu’s claims on Lagos budget performance, education? CLAIM Northern governors have rejected English as language of instruction in schools in northern Nigeria. THE FINDINGS Checks by The FactCheckHub show that the claim is FALSE, as there is no evidence Northern governors rejected or accepted the proposal to drop English as language of instruction in schools in Nigeria’s northern regions. Bago stated this at the National Literary Colloquium to celebrate the 60th birthday of a literary icon, BM Dzukogi, the founder of the Hilltop Arts Foundation at the Justice Idris Legbo Kutigi International Conference Centre in Minna, Niger State. “He said English should only be taught in primary and secondary schools in the North as a subject but not as language of instruction. “He said if adopting Hausa as a regional language of teaching and instruction would inspire enrolment and facilitate understanding among pupils and students, the northern governors should consider adopting it to reduce the rate of out-of-school children,” Daily Trust reported. ALSO READ: How accurate is Atiku’s claim on population of social media users in Northern Nigeria? Further checks show that there is neither evidence nor credible media reports in public domain that indicated that any northern governor has accepted or rejected the proposal by Governor Bago. THE VERDICT The claim that Northern governors have rejected English as the medium of instruction in northern schools is FALSE, while one of the governors urged the consideration of Hausa as a medium of instruction in schools, there is no official declaration in any of the northern states in the region.
