- Abstract
According to New Reader Survey in 2017, Wikipedia awarness in Nigeria stood at 21%. Many Nigerians see the tool ( Wikipedia) as a search engine rather than an emcyclopedia that anyone can edit. It was also established, that the tool is more popular among Nigerian students than any other sets in the survey.Therefore, we agreed to partner with Nigerian tertiary institutions to chnage this narrative. We have therefore due to the implementation of this project increase the awareness level to 45% with 2years. We now have 5 Universities regitered on the scheme. A good Example Wiki Club, University of Ilrori
