• Participants be reduced to 15 for easy transportation
• Refreshment should be reduced to 2,000 NGN.

Dear Ashioma (WUGN),

Thank you for your kind response and consideration. I have effected all new changes requested by the reviewers.

It is true that my last contribution under the Wikimedia commons page was in February 2022. I had issues with my account during this time and was unable to contribute as I would have love to.

But within this time period, I have taken some valuable images which are stored on my drive as I intend to upload them soon; I’ve also been actively part of Wikimedia outreach trainings.

I intend to use this project as an opportunity to further contribute while recruiting photographers to contribute to commons and add several images again.

I have been on about 3 wiki photo-walk tours with a group of Wikimedia volunteers during which I have been trained on the basics of uploading and editing valuable images for the Wikimedia commons. I've also gained needed experience in group mobilization, organization as well as prompt submission of images before deadline. I believe I am able and capable of headlining this project with the help of my team.

Thank you once again and look forward to the next stage. Favouridowu (talk) 07:58, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

Concerning the bus movement expenses, I fully understand the intention to reduce it to 50,000 NGN as initially planned. However, I would like to bring to your attention that the recent removal of fuel subsidies by the new government has resulted in an increase in fuel prices. Considering this circumstance, I kindly request to maintain the initial price as stipulated in my application. This adjustment will help cover the rising fuel costs and ensure smooth transportation for the participants.

Thank you once again for your guidance and kind consideration. Favouridowu (talk) 19:40, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
