He also stressed on the need for a people to preserve their language since it is the only unique identity and had their culture enbeded in it, and not allow it to go extinct.
He also spoke on the Obolo Bilingual education programme, a thrust on the National Policy on Education in practice. He said it is not for nothing that the federal Government made the policy.
