Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation

Nigeria’s official language is English, a legacy from British colonial rule. English serves as a unifying language among the country’s diverse ethnic groups, each with its own language. Nigeria has over 500 languages, with major regional languages including Hausa, Yoruba, and Igbo. English is used in government, education, and business, making it essential for national communication. This linguistic choice has helped Nigeria integrate into the global community and facilitated interactions among Nigerians from different ethnic backgrounds, despite the language challenges in rural areas where English is less prevalent.
