The Embassy of France in Nigeria has officially set in motion projects that would place French as the language of communication in secondary schools and the Nigerian public space.
This was disclosed by French Ambassador to Nigeria, Emmanuella Blatmann, at the launch of the Solidarity Funds for Innovative Projects (FSPI in French), in Abuja.
At the FSPI, Blatmann said the project was meant to strengthen French teachers in the country through a special fund known as the uja.
She said the FSPI project would make it easy to deploy the programme in 50 schools in five states in which local partners have expressed the desire to intensify educational cooperation actions in Enugu, Plateau, Oyo, Lagos and Abuja.
