As President, I am proud of our collective achievements, from pioneering Wikipedia-in-residence programs with government institutions to documenting our rich cultural heritage, languages, and oral histories to building one of Africa's most vibrant and diverse Wikimedia communities. This platform is not only a gateway to our activities, projects, and impact stories but also an invitation to you, whether you are a new visitor, an experienced Wikipedian, a researcher, an educator, a journalist, or a policymaker, to join us in reimagining how Nigeria is represented on the world's largest free knowledge platforms. Let's continue to make knowledge free, inclusive, and truly reflective of who we are.
Thank you for visiting. Warm regards,
Olaniyan Olushola
President, Wikimedia User Group Nigeria
