Sarkin Fulani of Lagos, HRH, Alh (Dr) Mohammed Abubakar Bambado II, launches Fulfulde Century Educational Books.
At the official launch which took place on the 15th of November, 2020, at the Palace of the Sarkin Fulani in Surulere, Lagos, His Royal Highness rekindled the need to preserve the Fulfulde language.
Speaking at the book launch, Sarki said, "It is important to note that when a language dies, the knowledge of and ability to understand the culture who spoke it is threatened because the teachings, customs, oral traditions and other inherited knowledge are no longer transmitted among native speakers.”
Furthermore, he added that, “Preservation, which can be achieved through written books made available to younger generations, could encourage them to learn, read and speak the language as well. This circle of learning not only keeps aglow the torch of knowledge about native literature and linguistics, but also help in lighting the way into the future.”
