ATAP, an acronym for Abubakar Tatari Ali Polytechnic is one of the age-long tertiary institutions in Nigeria with faculties and departments dedicated to maintaining folks culture and language revitalizations. This uniqueness made the institution one of the most populous and a host for various ethnic groups from majors to minors, young and adults, women and men among the other tertiary institutions in northern Nigeria. The Polytechnic housed a reasonable number of Fulfulde native speakers from staff to students because of the surrounding settlements and the fact that, no any Wikimedia awareness event and/or trainings has ever happened within the institution or the surrounding communities this flickers my interest to introduce Fulfulde Wikipedia to the populace of this institutions especially women not just because of my bid to see that more women are recruited in the Wikimedia movement but also to help us maintained the success achieved my previously organized project, the Fulfulde Wikipedia Women Marathon were the engaged participants created over 2000 articles about women on Fulfulde Wikipedia. This, opportunity will help to recruit more women Fulfulde Wikipedia editors, used the previous participants to motivate the new ones, and also encourage the previous participants to keep up.
