Dr Raphael James, the Director General and Founder of Centre for Research, Information and Media Development (CRIMMD), Lagos has called on the Nigerian Senate and the House of Representative to devote more time in carrying out their responsibilities in the National Assembly.
Dr James also called for a bill for the translation of the Nigerian Constitution into different Nigerian languages.
He made the call during his 45 minutes interview on ‘Close Flow’ an NTA 2 Channel 5 program on Monday, March 10, 2025.
Dr James, who runs the pioneer private Museum of Nigeria History with close to 45, 000 photos and thousands of artifacts, noted that there were Nigerians who can read and write their native languages but who may not be able to read and write in English language.
