Grants:Wikimedia UG Nigeria Grants/Wikimedia User Group Nigeria Community Support Fund/M Bash Ne/Wikipedia Awareness in Dutse

Project summary

Briefly summarize your project proposal.

• Dutse is the capital of Jigawa State, and there hasn't been any Wikipedia awareness or training there. I previously led a Wikimedia Awareness Project in all five Emirates councils, including Dutse. Now, I'm excited to run a Wikipedia training in Dutse to spread knowledge, recruit new editors, and boost local content. We'll also visit Garu, the emir's palace, and the main town. Our goal is to raise awareness at the Federal University Dutse, promoting Wikipedia's valuable contributions to our local Community.
