This paper examines the tension between linguistic unification and language rights in Nigeria and assesses the nature, causes, and implications of the tension against the backgrounds of the country's history, political development, and language situation. Drawing upon comparative data, the findings are discussed with reference to the contrasting processes of unifying the linguistic market and preserving minority language rights. The language planning model evolved by Nigeria in reconciling these two processes is critically examined within the wider context of language status planning in Africa and elsewhere.
