Centre for Hausa Research and Culture (CHARC) is an organization with a broad aim of researching into the history and emergence of the Zango communities as well as encourage the teaching and learning of the Hausa language, its traditional values and culture.

In his wisdom, the first President of Ghana, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, who realized the potentials of the Hausa language, strengthened the language on the air waves by adding it to GBC External Service broadcast, after the Language has been on radio for almost two decades in the country. Ghana therefore became the first country in the whole Africa to broadcast Hausa language on Radio.

(Historical facts, “Broadcasting began in Ghana on July 31st, 1935 from a wired relay station opened in Accra.” “Broadcasting first begun in four Ghanaian languages namely Fanti, Twi, Ga, Ewe and later Hausa. Part-time staff were engaged to translate and announce the news in these languages until 1943 when full-time staff were appointed.” Source GBC. https://www.devex.com/organizations/ghana-broadcasting-corporation-gbc-152860)

Hausa Language was once the lingua franca of the West African Soldiers, where Hausan Soja (Hausa of Soldier) originated.

The world’s super powers like the U.S.A, UK, Germany, Russia, China, France, Iran, lately Turkey, some of whom followed the footsteps of Ghana by broadcasting Hausa language on their air waves have not regretted using the Hausa language to share their ideologies with the rest of the world. This notwithstanding, the Zangos and Northern Ghana who are the originators of the Hausa language in Ghana are not taking advantage of the potentials of the language.

As the third Hausa speaking country in the West African sub region, it is imperative that Ghana gives a second thought to the teaching and learning of the Hausa language in order to derive the maximum benefit of the language, like any other country where the Hausa language is used as a catalyst in development.

That is the reason why this organisation took upon itself to introduce the teaching and learning of the Hausa language in Ghana.
