An Igbo linguist identified as Ogbonnaya Okoro has started the process of translating a physics textbook originally written in English language to the Igbo language.
According to Okoro, the work would be completed in 2024.
Okoro who made this known on his social media page stated that once he finished translating physics into Igbo, he would start working on chemistry and biology.
In his words:
“By 2024, I should be done translating Physics textbook into the Igbo Language. Once I am done with Physics, I will go over to Chemistry, Biology and other STEM subjects.”
It would be recalled that Okoro in a post made in 2021, said he had done other major works in the Igbo language.
His words:
“Now I have over 25 published books in Igbo and total of 58 published and unpublished manuscripts in Igbo Language. Translated the BBC guidelines in Igbo before the launching of BBC Igbo Service; translated Igbo for the UNESCO.”
Igbo language is one of Nigeria’s three major languages and ranked the 3rd most spoken language in the West African country after Yoruba and Hausa.
