Reading Wikipedia in the classroom helps to promotes digital literacy, media and information literacy, critical thinking skils, and creating new classroom actvities for students outside the regular classroom activites.

How did you connect with other people during Wikimania 2022? How did you celebrate at Wikimania 2022?: I connected with Wikimedians from other states in Nigeria, discussed new project ideas and the possibilities of establishing new Wiki fan clubs in tertiary institutions in Nigeria where none exist. As a founder of the Kwara State University Fan club,and a panelist at the in-person Wikimania SDGs, most of the new participants wanted to know the requirement for the establishment, the activties we had carried out and the challenges faced in recruiting and sustaining student volunteers even after school. I celebrated with other participants by engaging them in career talks, participating in Wiki quiz, and lots of games. I had an i nteresting time learning about WikiJournals and its impacts in promoting open access journals and free access to research resources.
