ABOUT HIYA NIGERIA

2. INTRODUCTION
The project is tagged:
“HIYA NIGERIA”,
(an acronym for H-Hausa, I-Ibo, Y- Yoruba, A- All
Nigerian Languages)
VISION:
A citizenry that embraces its civic responsibility and
lofty national values.

3. MISSION
Using indigenous languages to create an awareness
and ownership of Nigeria national symbols: Coat of
Arms, National Anthem and Pledge, National Currency,
National Flag, Constitution, National Passport, National
identity card e.t.c.
Re- orientating Nigerians using Indigenous languages.
Fostering a proper application of the Nigerian national
symbols.
Cultivating citizens’ ability to read and write their
indigenous languages.

4. BACKGROUND
HISTORY
There are about five hundred and twenty-one (521) indigenous languages, nine (9) gone into
extinction, leaving five hundred and ten (510) existing languages in Nigeria (36 states + FCT,
and 774 L.G.A, with over 8,804 Wards).
HIYA NIGERIA seeks to implement the use of these existing indigenous languages as a tool for
indoctrinating nationalism. These languages serve as confluence to over four thousand
(4,000) dialects, of which two (2) are second language {Pidgin, and English Language-which
ironically is the lingua franca of Nigeria.

service to your community.
Nothing gets done by one person alone, which means we
have to band together to make the changes we want to
see in the world.
We volunteer because it makes a difference

Community
Being a part of a team with a common goal will
