The National Assembly says it will translate Nigerian laws into Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba and other local languages as part of efforts to improve public access to legislative information. The plans are linked to deepening the digitisation of parliamentary records.
According to reporting from multiple outlets, Henry Nwawuba, Executive Secretary of the National Assembly Library Trust Fund, makes the announcement while opening the 2026 National Assembly Library Week. Outlets describe the initiative as expanding how citizens can read and understand laws in languages they use in daily life.
While the core information is consistent across sources—translation of laws into major local languages and broader access through digitised records—coverage differs slightly in emphasis. One outlet highlights the digitisation angle more directly, while others focus primarily on the language translation aspect. All sources attribute the announcement to the Library Trust Fund official during the Library Week event.
