    ABIDJAN

    The National Orientation Agency (NOA) in the northern state of Kebbi has said it will translate the constitution into Hausa to enable people to better understand it, the director of the institution’s Kebbi branch, Alhaji Musa Argungu, said.

    A substantial number of copies of the translated document will be made available to the public, the ‘Post Express’ newspaper reported at the weekend.

    Hausa speakers make up 21 percent of Nigeria 108 million people.
