As President, I am proud of our collective achievements, from pioneering Wikipedia-in-residence programs with government
institutions to documenting our rich cultural heritage,
languages, and oral histories to building one of Africa's most vibrant and diverse Wikimedia communities.
This platform is not only a gateway to our activities, projects, and impact stories but also an invitation to you,
whether you are a new visitor, an experienced Wikipedian, a researcher, an educator, a journalist, or a policymaker,
to join us in reimagining how Nigeria is represented on the world's largest free knowledge platforms.
Let's continue to make knowledge free, inclusive, and truly reflective of who we are.
Thank you for visiting.
Warm regards,
Olaniyan Olushola
President, Wikimedia User Group Nigeria
Welcome to the official website of Wikimedia
User Group Nigeria (registered as Wikimedia Nigeria Foundation), the recognised affiliate of the Wikimedia Foundation (owners of Wikipedia), committed to promoting free knowledge and open access in Nigeria.
Since our inception in 2015, we have worked tirelessly to bridge the knowledge gap about Nigeria and Africa on Wikipedia and its sister projects.
Through dynamic partnerships, capacity-building programs, and community-driven initiatives, we empower Nigerians to contribute to and benefit from the sum of all human knowledge.
Wikimedia Nigeria is committed to the ideal of a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. We believe that free access to knowledge is a fundamental right.
Our mission is to support and promote free access to knowledge, work with volunteers across the country, and partner with governmental and non-governmental organizations, as well as cultural and educational sectors and other mission-aligned groups to make knowledge freely accessible.
