Endorsment from Linason Blessing (talk)

 Strong support This project will highlight the topic of Nigerian books and their authors, thereby promoting not just Nigerian novels but also the cultural backdrop embedded in the works. Since similar project was earlier carried out in 2022 and it increased the visibility of Nigerian Novel and Novelist, I am sure that this project will further enhance the visibility of Literary works of authors in Nigeria by updating articles about them and their works on Wikipedia, this project aligns with the Wikimedia Movement strategy goals.
