Additionally, this project aims to create and update Wikidata entries about illustrious law companies, Senior Advocates, Attorneys General, Benchers, Magistrates, Honorable Justices etc. And finally this project will also help in recruiting new members for the Wikimedia movement.

 Strong support The program is important to encourage law enforcement agencies to contribute to open knowledge and advancement of data by creating statements of Judiciaries in Nigeria on Wikidata. It will help in bridging the knowledge and content gap of the under-represented Judiciaries in Nigeria. This project will bring about the inclusiveness of the Judiciary in the community by contributing to the Wikimedia Projects.

1. This proposal is essential to my community because it will ultimately help improve and create new items for the Nigerian Judiciary on an accessible structured online data repository and increase visibility about them online.
2. The strategies, activities, and levels of community engagement proposed are well developed to train and ensure accurate and reliable data is documented.
3. The proposal highlights interesting research based on findings from the Policy Book of the 2019 Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association(NBA) and builds on learning from past projects carried out using the Wikidata Query service to identify the gaps in the existing Wikidata items about Judiciary in Nigeria.
4. This proposal has a high tendency to improve User Experience, Coordinate Across Stakeholders, and Identify Topics for Impact in the Wikimedia movement.
5. The proposal is coherent in terms of the objectives, strategies, budget, and expected results which are carefully spelled out. Bukky658 (talk) 15:10, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
