Kano state university wudil has more than 20000 student and native Fulani speaker occupied 30% which are willing and ready to contribute to Fulfulde Wikipedia, but lack of training and awareness has hindered their efforts, many people inside and outside the university used to ask if there is Fulfulde in Wikipedia, we use to tell them there is, moreover kano state is the largest city in North and second largest city in Nigeria, this has to be the first Fulfulde Wikipedia awareness to chaired in the kano state university.
