Prof Kofi Agyekum noted that it is shameful how over time, literacy has been associated with only the English language. He further asserted that it was important for leaders to be abreast with primarily, their own language and if possible, other Ghanaian languages. “So, if you’re a CEO, you know only English, you don’t know your language which is Nzema; neither do you know the Nzema culture. “That’s why it is ideal for everybody to know his or her own language or some of the Ghanaian languages. As for the English, if you go to school you’ll learn,” Opanyin Agyekum added.
