Comment[edit]

Dear Onwuka Glory

The Wikimedia User Group Nigeria community support fund committee has further reviewed your application, and they have some follow-up questions and requests regarding your application:

  • Why do you need to pay for a hall when schools give halls for free. (It is not advisable to take school children outside for an event concerning Wikimedia without first getting permission from the Wikimedia Nigeria User Group leadership

We look forward to your response and adjustment on or before May 30th 2023. Thank you once again for your work within the Wikimedia Movement in Nigeria.

Hall usage attracts payment for non school events.[edit]

Hi, Thanks very much for reaching out to me. This school has a hall equipped with desks and tables, I don't hire desks and tables for carrying out an event herein. Nonetheless, hall usage attracts payment for non school event (every event or programme not organized by the school or Ministry of Education attracts billing payment, as a means of generating fund for the school) as this is a Wikipedia project. Furthermore, this event is not going to be held outside school but rather inside school, and with the permission of school authority and some teachers already registered with Wikipedia as a volunteer editor.
