I will engage participants after the event by adding each to the Wikimedia User Groups they deem fit to work and contribute in for active participation. There will be follow-ups and seminars to teach and enlighten them on how to contribute to Wikipedia.

This event will focus on freely licensed and high quality images of Nigeria Monuments, that will be contributed to Wikimedia Common for free usage.
