See Languages of Nigeria, citations about the recognition of French as the second official language of Nigeria might not be sufficient to list French into the infobox. Ahri Boy (talk) 06:16, 8 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I understand, French is an official language of Nigeria, albeit badly implemented. What's the threshold for sources for adding it to the infobox? The current situation on this page and Languages of Nigeria is more confusing than the actual situation itself.
