The Chief of Defence Staff, General Lucky Irabor and the Chief Executive Officer/Director, Nigeria French Language Village, Badagry, Lagos, Professor Lateef Babatunde Ayeleru have emphasised the importance of the French language learning by men and officers of the Armed Forces in the country in combating security challenges.
The duo spoke when Professor Ayeleru paid a visit to General Irabor at the Defence Headquarters in Abuja, during the week.
They agreed that since most of the countries bordering Nigeria are French-speaking countries, personnel of the Armed Forces in Nigeria must be proficient in French to be able to eliminate the language barrier and relate perfectly with their West African neighbours.
