Endorsment from Aminu Magaji (talk)

Aminu Kano College of Education and Legal studies is among the college that has the most high population of the students and most of it's students are females, therefore I support this proposal because if this proposal organized at this college the women will have a full opportunity to build the Wikimedian projects by acquiring and sharing their knowledge. Their logo of 'woman can do what man can do better', it will be impact and real.

Endorsment from Kamala Abubaka (talk)

I am in support of this project because of the outlined strategies that will be implemented while carrying out the project. Wikipedia awareness has never taken place at Aminu Kano College of Education and Legal Studies, furthermore the college comprises of students from different community background and most of them are from Hausa speaking environment. So if this project is implemented in the college, more articles will be created and the less improved one will be improved.

--Sufie Alyaryasie (talk) 15:16, 2 December 2022 (UTC) ) I'm very support this project to be done in the college, because I'm former student there. It will bring change to and developed staff and students Idea about Wikipedia and it's sister's project.

Endorsment from Iliyasu Umar (talk)

I strongly support this project looking at the changes that the organiser is trying to bring; wikipedia awareness campaign have never taken place in the college, secondly, most of the students and the staff don't know wikipedia in terms of research and contents creation. So, I believe if this project is approved to be done in the college, it will no doubt bring the said changes.
