Chinese to Be Taught in Schools

Lagos — The Initiative of African Friends of China has urged the Federal Government to approve the teaching of Chinese language in secondary schools across the country. The group's president, Fred Ogwazu, made the call while signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with DBS Media Ltd, a Nigerian creative media content agency in Lagos. Ogwazu said the development, if considered, will improve the socio-economic corporations, educational and cultural exchanges as well as technology and skills acquisition. "To further boost this advocacy, we have already concluded plans to commence the teaching of Chinese language in some centres across Africa, starting with Nigeria," he said.
