Pan-Yoruba socio political organisation, Afenifere, has urged legislatures in south-west states to make Yoruba the primary language of conducting parliamentary business.
The organisation made the call during a caucus meeting held on April 7, at the Akure residence of Reuben Fasoranti, its leader.
The meeting, which was presided by Seinde Arogbofa, saw representatives from various state chapters, including Kogi and Kwara, in attendance.
Afenifere also asked governments in south-west states to make Yoruba the medium of teaching “at elementary levels of education”.
“Afenifere is very persistent on the need to ensure that Yoruba language is used more as a medium of communication,” the statement signed by Jare Ajayi, its national publicity secretary, reads.
