The English Language in the multilingual Nigerian Context

The paper addresses the language issue in Nigeria by exploring the unifying significance of the English language in the country. In multilingual societies like Nigeria, English is an effective instrument for national development and the promotion of national identity. Writing in English by Nigerian literary artists has created a distinctive unique Nigerian prose fiction marked by its own characteristics having traits of inter-cultural communication, with local peculiarities and cultural nuances, reflecting culture-specific concepts.
