In a groundbreaking move, the Lagos State government has announced plans to translate its laws from English into Yoruba, the predominant language spoken in the state.
This initiative aims to promote inclusivity and transparency in the legal system, enabling citizens to better understand and comply with the laws governing the state. Leveraging AI technology, the project will translate at least 70 laws annually and create a digital library of Lagos State laws in Yoruba.
This innovative step is expected to improve public confidence in the government, enhance the state’s legal framework, and preserve the Yoruba language through legal documentation.
