France has allocated 600 thousand euros for the development of French in Nigeria

The French government has said that it will give 600,000 euros to Nigeria to help improve the French language, with the hope that it will become the country's second official language.

In the first step, the French government will use these funds to pay for the teachers who teach French in secondary schools in Nigeria to get more training. It will also buy a set of textbooks for the students to use.

Also, the French government will pay for some French teachers to get training in France before they go back to Nigeria to teach.

Emmanuelle Blatmann, the French Ambassador to Nigeria, told the Hausa Department of RFI that five states in Nigeria will be the first to get help from this new programme.

So, we will buy about 5,000 textbooks for kids between the ages of 11 and 15. We will also set up special training in Nigeria and send teachers to France for two to three weeks to get more training. Let's give schools computers and screens. I think the budget is tight, so we want to start with just five states. If things go well, we hope to add more states.

The goal of the programme is to limit the use of French not only in schools but also in public places in Nigeria and to work with media outlets that spread news in French in the country.

Lagos, Abuja, Plateau, Oyo, and Enugu are some of the states that will get help from the programme.

There will also be some training programmes that will make it easy for both adults and children to learn French.

There are now many schools and universities in Nigeria that teach French. The government of the country wants French to become the second most spoken language in the country, after English. He is in a rural area.
