Diverse Languages that exist in Nigeria, gave rise to the need to choose among
these languages, which one or ones to be used as the National Language(s) in Nigeria.
The Multilingual Nature of Nigeria has been examined, in relation to the provisional
result of 1991 census conducted in Nigeria and the status of language policy in the
country, which eventually led to the discovery of the fact that Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba
languages have the highest speaker in terms of population, and are already made coofficial
languages in Nigeria, alongside with English language. Then these languages
should be considered as the National Languages, if eventually a language policy emerges
in Nigeria.
