Abstract
Over the years, laudable achievements have not been made in the area of making French Nigeria’s second official language. This is because the project is not property financed on one hand and, on the other, the stakeholders of the economic planning programmes did not actually recognize the progress that would be experienced economically if French becomes the second official language. It is also surprising to note that the on-going educational reforms have not addressed the employment of experts in French language which would lead to making it a compulsory General studies course in the tertiary institutions’ curriculum. We have, in the light of this, analysed the Nigeria’ economic situation and spelt out the place of French in its improvement.
