  • Because i wish this project to be done especially in Hausa communities where people don't know their right. This project will be the best way ever where people would be out of dogmatism socially and academcally. We are living in a kind of environment that every one can go against people just because the person is rich, has political appointment, militiry persone, knows someone that can stansds for his/her crime they commites.

  • Seeing that this is an international events to promote human rights and dignity, adopting it locally will really help in closing the human rights gap on Hausa wikipedia as well as exposing serious human right violations that are happening within the speaking areas.
