Wikimedia User Group Nigeria/August meetup

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

Wikimedia User Group Nigeria held on the 25th of August 2018 at 90 Degrees hotels, Lagos Nigeria. The meetup was a gathering of Wikimedians from across the state with our members from University of Ilorin prominently featured at the meetup. The event was delayed due to a heavy down pour in Lagos. Many of our members ignored the rainfall to appear at the meetup.


Activities[edit]

Contrary to the scheduled arrangement of 10am , the event started at 11am due to the heavy downpour in Lagos metropolis. One of the highlights of the event was the introduction of the winners of Wiki Loves Earth 2018, Jesu-loba the winner and User:Ayobami Nacaulay, the second runner up. Their prizes will be presented in the week of 27th August 2018.
