ABSTRACT
The paper examines the place or the role that the English Language plays in Nigeria especially in education of the populace which invariably leads to national economic growth and development. The paper also explains that English Language plays a very significant role in the nation economic development thereby reducing poverty rate in Nigeria. The paper further identifies some challenges that affect effective teaching and learning of English Language in Nigeria which include insecurity, natural disasters, industrial strikes and many others that impact negatively on teaching and learning of English Language in Nigeria. The paper therefore recommends that government should use law enforcement agents to not only secure the communities but also engage the various ethnic communities more often in peace building dialogue as well as improve learning infrastructures especially in the rural areas to motivate both teachers and learners to enroll and also sustain enrollment in schools among others.
