I am delighted to endorse wikimedia kaduna connect as it has done successfully great in the campaign, the campaign has done justice to Wikipedia and wikimedia at large, it has created free safe spaces for new wikimedia editors where they learnt how to edit, create articles on Wikipedia and wikidata and also how to upload photos on wikicommons, I can confidently say that official launching will create more opportunities or avenue for both existing and new editors to know more about wikimedia projects, and it will also perform greatZmu'az4Z (talk) 19:51, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

According to reliable facts and figures of the impact and success of Kaduna Connect Wikimedia Network within the little age it started, I will like you endorse the formal and publicly launching of the network, this will create more valuable impact to all Wikimedia projects such as Wikicommons, Wikipedia (Hausa, English) and Wikidata.

Friday musa (talk) 08:56, 19 August 2023 (UTC) I strongly endorse this project because it would help create awareness about the activities of Wikimedia in Kaduna state and environs as well as building up young and vibrant editors who will develop and promote the movement in the future.

I hereby happily endorse this Network. I believe that with the birth of this Network, wonderful heights would be attained in no distant time. A lot of people will be aware, educated and enlightened about Wikimedia activities with the creation of this Network. There are a lot of intelligent and hard-working individuals who are ready to move the Network to the next level. ~~~~LKSALATI
