The Nigeria Publishers Association (NPA) has initiated an advocacy for the introduction of teaching in local languages, especially in the nation’s universities.

President of the association, Uchenna Anioke, who spoke at a grand reception in Enugu, stated that China, India, North Korea, Japan, South Korea, Turkey and Germany, produced their best medical doctors and engineers by teaching them in local languages in their universities.

“We can’t produce doctors, engineers, computer scientists in our indigenous languages. They don’t speak English in North Korea, but they have the best computer scientists and in India, people go to the moon, yet they don’t speak English.“In Germany, the best machines are not produced in English. So, Nigeria should begin to write and produce our best using the local languages.

Also speaking, Director-General of the Nigeria Copyright Commission , Dr. John Asein, said the commission was working with publishers to address challenges of piracy in the country. “At this point, we are building partnership. In fact, we have a partnership of the NCC, NPA, Nigeria Book Sellers Association and the Chartered Institute of Printers .
