Wikimedia User Group Nigeria/Wikimedia Hub, Ibadan

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

The Wikimedia Ibadan Hub is a Wikimedia hub under Wikimedia UG Nigeria. The hub will serve Wikimedians in Ibadan, South West Nigeria. This hub seeks to promote Wikimedia projects in Ibadan. We aim to organize several Wikimedia events, campaigns to create awareness about Wikimedia projects and trainings to recruit new editors. One of our core missions is to aid and encourage people to collect, develop and disseminate knowledge and other educational, cultural and historic content in the public domain or other licenses that allows everyone to freely use the knowledge, and to distribute and modify the contents for free. Wikimedia User Group Nigeria/Wikimedia Fan Club, University of Ibadan is also directly affiliated with this hub.
