WikiCred Bootcamp for Information Professionals in Nigeria

20/01/2024

I am genuinely astounded and deeply moved by the outpouring of support from so many well-wishers.

It's truly heartwarming to realize how many people believe in me, especially as I didn't campaign for this recognition.

Your overwhelming display of genuine affection and the honor of nominating me for the Community Builder Award has left me speechless.

Thank you Wikimedia User Group Nigeria, for this powerful reminder that our efforts in promoting free knowledge and growing the community of volunteers are not only noticed but also deeply appreciated.

I dedicate this to everyone who believes in community growth🇳🇬 Together we can!!
