An Igbo linguist has begun translating a physics textbook into the Igbo language.
The man, Maazi Ogbonnaya Okoro, stated on social media that the work would be completed in 2024.
He stated that once he finished translating physics into Igbo, he would start working on chemistry and biology.
He wrote:
“By 2024, I should be done translating Physics textbook into the Igbo Language. Once I am done with Physics, I will go over to Chemistry, Biology and other STEM subjects.”
In a separate post made in 2021, the scholar said he had done other major works in the Igbo language.
His words:
“Now I have over 25 published books in Igbo and total of 58 published and unpublished manuscripts in Igbo Language. Translated the BBC guidelines in Igbo before the launching of BBC Igbo Service; translated Igbo for the UNESCO.”
