Whereas, the Hausa language is widely used, not only within the area covered by the Nigeria Annual Conference, but also in the entire country (Nigeria) as well as a large portion of the costal cities of West Africa; and
Whereas, there are available and willing language experts and interpreters/translators from within the Nigeria Annual Conference;
We, the Nigeria Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church, are desirous of a Hausa translation of the Book of Discipline, the book of Worship, and Hymnal to cater to the numerous Hausa users. Ninety percent of the conference population attached speak Hausa only.
