Endorsements[edit]

Community members are encouraged to endorse your project request here!

  • This is a much-needed project in the Niger Delta community as this would encourage the participation of users in wiki-related projects. Most users have not been able to contribute due to their inability to edit wiki platforms, this capacity-building workshop will be an avenue to train such users.

I ATAT Charles a community member in Rivers state endorse this project as I believe it will afford an opportunity for other newbies to learn and network with the aim to grow the community in the region.
