The population of Nigeria is not only large, but is also expanding by the passage of time. It is therefore significant that many Nigerians speak Nigerian Pidgin English. This study examines how Nigerian Pidgin English contributes to the development of the country as it gains recognition and operates across facets of nation-hood. When language is used to impinge on the value-system of society through the transmission of information and consciousness, then nation-building is in operation. The literature is replete with critical perspectives on the position of Nigerian Pidgin English in multilingual Nigeria. Hinging on the Independent Parallel Development Theory and the Neutralist Perspective, this study concludes that Nigerian Pidgin English contributes to the building of Nigeria as it is used to convey useful information for national integration and sustainable development.
