Lagos State Intensifies Efforts To Translate Laws Into Yoruba
The Lagos State Government has reiterated its commitment to translating State laws into Yoruba Language to enhance legal accessibility and inclusivity.
– This initiative would enhance civic participation and engagement, as citizens would better understand the laws governing them, leading to more active participation in governance processes such as public hearings, community dialogues, and policy advocacy.
– This initiative will also promote cultural heritage, as it would help to modernize Yoruba by incorporating contemporary legal terminologies, thereby enriching the language and keeping it relevant for future generations.
Organized by the Lagos State Law Reform Commission (LAWRECOM) in conjunction with the Bureau of Statistics, Ministry of Economic Planning and Budget.
