Wikipedia Workshop have never taken place at the Aminu Kano College of Islamic and Legal Studies, Kano. While this college is among the most popular colleges in Kano state and this college has almost six thousands students whose study under the department of Hausa language and most of them don't know on how to make a research and contribute to the Hausa Wikipedia. Therefore, through this project we will use this opportunity to bring a changes by recruiting the new editors for the Hausa Wikipedia.

In additional, two of the project's facilitators are graduate students of the college.
