In a significant advancement for Yoruba language education, the Ondo State Government has officially approved Akọ́mọnímọ̀ Èdè àti Gírámà Yorùbá, a grammar textbook authored by Mike Kuwoye, for use by Junior Secondary School (JSS) students in the state.
The author, in expressing his profound gratitude, thanked God Almighty, the State Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology, as well as Pastor Sam Moyebi for their invaluable support.
