Yoruba Wikimedians User Group/Follow up training for Yoruba language students of Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education
On 29th November 2019, we organized an awareness campaign for Yoruba Wikipedia at Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education in conjunction with Yoruba students of the Language and Linguistics department. Over 100 students participated in the awareness campaign. It was suggested by our team, Yoruba students and head of the Yoruba language department that training on how to contribute to Yoruba Wikipedia be conducted so as to enable the students to understand how to contribute to Yoruba Wikipedia since no workshop or training was done as part of the awareness campaign. So, this is a fallout of the Yoruba Wikipedia Awareness Campaign.
