Hausa Language in BRICS Currency: Nigerian Reactions

Nigerians Debate Hausa as Official Language in BRICS Currency

Nigerians have expressed mixed reactions after reports surfaced that Hausa was featured as one of the official languages on the proposed BRICS reserve currency.

While some welcomed the recognition of a Nigerian language on a global platform, others raised concerns about the implications of promoting one ethnic language over others in such an international context.

The discourse highlights ongoing conversations about ethnic representation and inclusivity in Nigeria’s diverse linguistic landscape, especially considering the country’s ambitions to join BRICS.

This move has also been tied to Nigeria’s broader efforts to strengthen its economic ties and diversify its international trade alliances away from dependence on the U.S. dollar
