Every Wednesdays, our presenter and co-presenters visit Ikeja Lagos to air the program. The program is aired between 18:45 to 1945 GMT+ but our presenters normally get there an hour before the program. We plan to run this program for one year and it's currently in its 5th edition. Though, our budget covers initial plan of six(6) months, Before now, we usually support our presenter and co-presenters with local transport and refreshments but we need support for its continuity. see the page activities on meta here

As a member of Wikimedia UG Nigeria, I am excited about this program as it will expose Wikipedia to Nigerian, and will in turn assist in getting more active editors on the platform.Olufemi Simeon Adeniyi (talk) 07:35, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
