Our induction happened today by Marion Sadoux, Head of Modern Language Programmes, University of Oxford Language Centre.
This became possible in account of the James Currey Society. This is the first time Igbo language will be taught at the university. History has been made. I am so happy and grateful for this opportunity. I promise to make the Igbo language and culture known to the world.”
