Ikoku, who publishes the famous Working Moms Magazine revealed that 21 February this year (yesterday) marked the 17th edition of International Mother Language Day (IMLD).

“To mark the day, Working Moms Africa Magazine, a publication of The Access Media Ltd will on the 26th of February host an International Seminar tagged #InYourMothersTongue, a seminar to discuss preserving and developing our cultural heritage and spreading awareness of our mother tongues in order to encourage diversity and even inspire us to take up learning a new language.

Working Moms insists on the importance of appropriate languages of instruction, usually mother tongues, in early years of a child: formal and non-formal education must deliver quality education for all learners by taking a multilingual approach, which has great potential for achieving development goal 4 of the Agenda 2030.”
