Olaniyan Olushola/Wikipedia Library Program with Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta
Though there are over 165 Universities in Nigeria, but there are no single Wikipedia Library Program running in the country.We understand the immense resources available to be earnest if there is an effective partnership structure with Libraries in Nigerian tertiary institutions. The success of this arrangement will serve as one of the pivotal points of bridging the existing gaps on our local contents on Wikipedia.Hence,the need to focus on this project in Nigeria.

I was invited to Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta on the 7th of February to celebrate Wikipedia:Meetup/AfroCROWD/FUNAAB Black History Month Black History Month Celebration with Wikipedia edit-a-thon. One of the fall of the event is that we can tap from enormous resources in working with the Librarians at the university. It will also serve as a means of introducing and training Wikipedia among new set of volunteers.This project will focus on capacity development, Since, no one can be a Wikipedian in One day. I plan to organize a 3-day Wikipedia training and edi-a-thon for the Librarians at the University.Already, i have contacted with Wikipedia Library arm of the Foundation and they have decided to support me and my team on this project.
