Language is a major aspect of nation building. Right from the origin and creation of the world, human relationship and communication have been the mover and pivots of developments. This relationship has been made possible with the help of language. This is because it is through language that human thoughts are manifested. In this research, the researcher has the intention of finding out the benefits of Igbo language in nation building, especially among the Igbo people. Igbo language is not only the means of communication among the Igbo people, it is equally a symbol Igbo unity and identity. Whenever nation building is mentioned among the Igbo people, the first thing to come to mind is the Igbo language, because it is part and parcel of their life. Language unites and divides nations. So, materials for nation building come from language, because language guides people’s thought. By and large, this research will look into the functions of Igbo language in nation building, especially as they affect the Igbo people, how Igbo language had helped in nation building, disadvantages of neglecting Igbo language as a material for nation building, ways to promote Igbo language as a veritable material for nation building, and how to sustain and prevent Igbo language from extinction.
