In a statement shared on X on Wednesday, Tinubu said the Hausa people had played an important role in strengthening Nigeria’s unity. He also noted that the Hausa language had expanded beyond Nigeria. According to him, it has become an important means of communication and trade across different parts of the world.
Tinubu congratulated members of the Hausa community on the celebration. He described the occasion as an opportunity to recognise their cultural and linguistic contributions to Nigeria and the wider world.
“The Hausa people are great pillars that play a vital role in the unity and progress of Nigeria,” the President said.
He added that the Hausa language had flourished and had become a major language of unity and commerce across the world. Tinubu also congratulated the Hausa community as it marked the celebration at the historic Daura Palace.
Hausa Day celebration
Hausa Day brings attention to the history, culture, language and contributions of the Hausa people. The celebration at Daura also highlights the cultural importance of the ancient city to the Hausa community. Tinubu’s message comes as discussions about national unity and cultural diversity remain prominent in Nigeria. The President has repeatedly called for stronger cooperation among the country’s different communities.
The Hausa language remains widely spoken across Nigeria and several other countries in West Africa. Its use in trade and everyday communication has also contributed to its regional influence. The President’s message therefore focused on the role of the Hausa community in promoting unity, cultural identity and economic activity in Nigeria.
