The introduction of the Chinese Language, two days ago, caused a serious division in the House of Asembly as representative of Ajeromi-Ifelodun in the Assembly, Mr. Abdulbak Balogun, had drawn the attention of the House to a statement credited to Oladunjoye over the introduction of Chinese language to public schools.
It was quoted that Balogun said, “Why Chinese language in our public schools? If we want our children to learn Chinese language, why not in the university where they learn linguistics?”
Another lawmaker, Mr. Rotimi Olowo, was said to have wondered the relevance of the language to the socio-economic development of the state and the country.
He said, “Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa languages should be made compulsory instead of the Chinese language.”
However, another lawmaker, Mrs. Lola Akande, said the introduction of Chinese language was not a bad idea because China is the second largest economy in the world and also regarded as super power in terms of technology advancement.
She said, “The introduction of Chinese language would not disrupt the school curriculum, rather, it will strengthen the relationship between Nigeria and China.”
